Coherent states on the Grassmannian $U(4)/U(2{)}^2$: Oscillator realization and bilayer fractional quantum Hall systems

Abstract

Bilayer quantum Hall (BLQH) systems, which underlie a $U(4)$ symmetry, display unique quantum coherence effects. We study coherent states (CS) on the complex Grassmannian ${\mathbb{G}}_2^4=U(4)/U(2{)}^2$, orthonormal basis, $U(4)$ generators and their matrix elements in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}_{\lambda }({\mathbb{G}}_2^4)$ of analytic square-integrable holomorphic functions on ${\mathbb{G}}_2^4$, which carries a unitary irreducible representation of $U(4)$ with index $\lambda \in \mathbb{N}$. A many-body representation of the previous construction is introduced through an oscillator realization of the $U(4)$ Lie algebra generators in terms of eight boson operators. This particle picture allows us for a physical interpretation of our abstract mathematical construction in the BLQH jargon. In particular, the index $\lambda$ is related to the number of flux quanta bound to a bi-fermion in the composite fermion picture of Jain for fractions of the filling factor $\nu =2$. The simpler, and better known, case of spin-$s$ CS on the Riemann-Bloch sphere ${\mathbb{S}}^2=U(2)/U(1{)}^2$ is also treated in parallel, of which Grassmannian ${\mathbb{G}}_2^4$-CS can be regarded as a generalized (matrix) version.
