Pseudo-bosons and bi-coherent states out of $\Lc^2(\mathbb{R})$

Abstract

In this paper we continue our analysis on deformed canonical commutation relations and on their related pseudo-bosons and bi-coherent states. In particular, we show how to extend the original approach outside the Hilbert space $\Lc^2(\mathbb{R})$, leaving untouched the possibility of defining eigenstates of certain number-like operators, manifestly non self-adjoint, but opening to the possibility that these states are not square-integrable. We also extend this possibility to bi-coherent states, and we discuss in many details an example based on a couple of superpotentials first introduced in \cite{bag2010jmp}. The results deduced here belong to the same distributional approach to pseudo-bosons first proposed in \cite{bag2020JPA}.
