Analysis of generalized probability distributions associated with higher Landau levels

Abstract

To a higher Landau Level corresponds a generalization of the Poisson distribution arising from generalized coherent states. In this paper, we write down the atomic decomposition of this probability measure and expressed its weights through 2F2 hypergeometric polynomials. Then, we prove that it is not infinitely divisible in opposite to the Poisson distribution corresponding to the lowest Landau level. We also derive the Levy-Kintchine representation of its characteristic function when the latter does not vanish and deduce that the representative measure is signed. By considering the total variation of the last measure, we obtain the characteristic function of a new infinitely divisible discrete probability distribution for which we compute also the weights.
