Four-parameter Mittag-Leffler functions and their associated coherent states

Abstract

We defined and used a pair of Hermitian annihilation and creation operators which generate the generalized coherent states, defined in the Barut-Girardello manner, whose normalization function is just the four-parameter generalized Mittag-Leffler function. We examined the characteristic properties for these pure, as well as mixed (thermal) coherent states. All calculations are made using the rules of the technique of diagonal ordering of operators. Finally, the integral counterpart of the Mittag-Leffler coherent states are examined which is connected with nu-function. The paper is an example of the application of a mathematical entity (Mittag-Leffler function) in quantum mechanics (coherent states formalism).
