1. Introduction
The known Hermite polynomials and their different generalizations have been one of the most interesting fields for research, since their introduction by Lagrange and Chebyshev. They appear in a wide spectrum of research domains including enginery, pure and applied mathematics, and different branches of physics. The classical ones on the real line are defined by ([10, 11, 12])
[TABLE]
Here and elsewhere after, we use to denote the partial differential operator . They can be extended to the whole complex plane by replacing the real by the complex variable , leading to the class of holomorphic Hermite polynomials . The last ones inherit the most of the algebraic properties of by analytic continuation. Moreover, they possess further interesting analytic properties. The associated functions
[TABLE]
for given fixed , satisfy the orthogonal property ([13])
[TABLE]
where being the Lebesgue measure on . This is to say that the functions in (1.1) form an orthonormal system in the Hilbert space , where the weight function is given by
[TABLE]
Equivalently, if denotes the multiplication operator
[TABLE]
with , then the functions
[TABLE]
form an orthonormal system in , where . Accordingly, we define the Hilbert subspace as in [13] by . Its companion is the classical Bargmann–Fock space of weight (see e.g. [1, 4]).
The aim of the present paper is three folds
- 1
Review and complete the study of the space . In particular, we provide the associated Segal–Bargmann transforms for the configuration space . See Section 2. 2. 2
Study a Hilbertian decomposition of in terms of some reproducing kernel Hilbert subspaces , and provide to each an orthonormal basis generalizing the ones in (1.4) to the polyanalytic setting, as well as the explicit expression of the reproducing kernel of . See Section 3. 3. 3
We also give the corresponding Segal–Bargmann integral transform. See Section 3.
2. Complements on
We begin with the following
Proposition 2.1** ([13]).**
The functions constitute an orthonormal basis of the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with kernel given explicitly by
[TABLE]
Proof.
The proof of (2.1) can be handled by invoking the unitary operator in (1.3) and observing that the functions
[TABLE]
form an orthonormal basis of , so that one concludes for the explicit expression of by performing and next using the generating function of the Hermite polynomials ([10, p. 130]). ∎
Remark 2.2**.**
The expression of the reproducing kernel can also be proved in an easy way by making appeal to the following general principle. Let be a separable reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) on the complex plane and denotes by its reproducing kernel function. If is a multiplication operator by a function . Then, is a RKHS whose kernel function is given by
[TABLE]
Remark 2.3**.**
The space is the Gelfand–Shilov space (of holomorphic functions) extended to (see [13]).
In the sequel, we consider the integral transform of Segal–Bargmann type
[TABLE]
associated to the kernel function
[TABLE]
Then, we assert
Theorem 2.4**.**
The transform defines a unitary isometric integral transform from the configuration Hilbert space onto .
Proof.
The kernel function in (2) can be rewritten as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
is an orthonormal basis of . Indeed, we have
[TABLE]
The rest of the proof is straightforward making use of the Mehler formula for the Hermite polynomials extended to the complex plane, to wit ([9, p.174, Eq. (18)], see also [10, p.198, Eq. (2)])
[TABLE]
valid for every fixed . ∎
Remark 2.5**.**
By means of (2.4) and (2.6), we have Moreover, the inversion formula of is given by
[TABLE]
Remark 2.6**.**
By considering , we define an integral transform from onto such that , where are as in (2.2), since
[TABLE]
3. A special orthonormal basis of
The multiplication operator defines a unitary operator from onto . Moreover, it maps isometrically the Hilbert subspace onto the Bargmann–Fock space . Therefore, an orthogonal decomposition of can be deduced easily from the one of , given in terms of the polyanalytic Hilbert spaces
[TABLE]
where and with . See for e.g. [7] for details. In fact, the consideration of leads to the orthogonal decomposition
[TABLE]
An immediate orthonormal basis of is then given by for varying , where
[TABLE]
denotes the weighted polyanalytic complex Hermite polynomials [5, 6, 8], generalizing the monomials .
The main aim in this section is to provide another ”nontrivial” orthonormal basis of , consisting of polyanalytic functions generalizing and whose first elements are the holomorphic functions in (1.4), i.e., . and obtained an appropriate basis of the space . The introduction of entails the consideration of the integral transform
[TABLE]
Then, we can prove the following
Theorem 3.1**.**
*The transform is a unitary integral transform from onto . Moreover, the functions *
[TABLE]
where , form an orthonormal basis of .
Proof.
The proof lies essentially on the observation that the unitary operator can be rewritten as , where is the integral transform considered in [1, Eq. (2.17)] and given by
[TABLE]
as well as on the fact that . Thus, by means of [1, Theorem 2.12], keeping in mind the fact that the polynomials is an orthogonal basis of [8, 5], the following
[TABLE]
holds true for every nonnegative integers and any . The rest of the second assertion is straightforward since the functions form an orthonormal basis of . The explicit expression of follows by direct computation. Indeed, we have
[TABLE]
since and . ∎
Remark 3.2**.**
The inverse of is given by , More explicitly
[TABLE]
Remark 3.3**.**
The new class of functions in (3.1) generalizes the one studied in [2] and the previous theorem provide an integral representation of the special functions . Moreover, it is closely connected to the polynomials
[TABLE]
*in [3], where *
The considered space is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space for the point evaluation map in is continuous. This, can be recovered easily by means of Remark 2.2. Thus, we assert
Theorem 3.4**.**
The explicit expression of the reproducing kernel of is given by
[TABLE]
Proof.
By means of Remark 2.2, the reproducing kernel of obeys (2.3). Hence, we have . where is the reproducing kernel of the generalized Bargmann space given by [7]
[TABLE]
∎
Remark 3.5**.**
For we recover the reproducing kernel of the Hilbert space in Proposition 2.1.
Remark 3.6**.**
*The identity *
[TABLE]
or equivalently
[TABLE]
*holds true by comparing the result of Theorem 3.4 to the fact that the reproducing kernel can be rewritten as , for , in (3.1), being an orthonormal basis of . *
We conclude this section by giving the explicit expression of the generalized Segal–Bargmann integral transform for the spaces . We have to consider the weighted configuration space instead of , where . It is the Hilbert space of all square integrable -valued functions on with respect to the Gaussian measure , for which the rescaled Hermite polynomials
[TABLE]
form an orthonormal basis. The associated coherent states transform from onto mapping to is given by
[TABLE]
where the kernel function is given by
[TABLE]
For fixed , and , we define to be the class of polyanalytic polynomials in [2],
[TABLE]
Theorem 3.7**.**
We have
[TABLE]
Moreover, the transform defines an isomtric transform from onto .
Proof.
We need only to prove the closed formula (3.4) for . The rest holds true for general coherent state transformations on the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces likes . Indeed, starting from (3.3) and (3.1) and applying the Mehler formula (2.8) the expression of reduces further to
[TABLE]
Using the fact , we get
[TABLE]
by induction, and therefore
[TABLE]
Subsequently
[TABLE]
∎
4. Concluding remarks
In the previous section the space are realized as the image of the integral transform or also as the image of by the generalized Segal–Bargmann transform . Another realization of is by considering the -th standard Segal–Bargmann transform [2]
[TABLE]
from onto . Indeed, one has to deal with ,
[TABLE]
It is clear that for every fixed , the functions form an orthonormal basis of . But, there is no clear evidence if they are the same or not. We claim that do not depend of . The corresponding Poisson kernel can be given explicitly leading to a nontrivial -fractional Fourier transform for the Hilbert space .
