The aim of this article is to construct à la Perelomov and à la Barut–Girardello coherent states for a polynomial Weyl-Heisenberg algebra. This generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra, noted A{κ}, depends on r real parameters and is an extension of the Aκ one-parameter algebra (Daoud M and Kibler M R 2010 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43 115303) which covers the cases of the su(1, 1) algebra (for κ > 0)...

We consider two different constructions of higher brackets. First, based on a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent ∆ operator, we define a non-commutative generalization of the higher Koszul brackets, which are used in a generalized Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra, and we show that they form a homotopy Lie algebra. Secondly, we investigate higher, so-called derived brackets built from symmetrized, nested Lie br...

Recent investigation by Verlinde and Verlinde has shown that the fermionic string loop amplitudes change by a total derivative term in the moduli space under a change of basis of the supermoduli. This ambiguity is addressed in the context of the heterotic string theory, and shown to be a consequence of an inherent ambiguity in defining integration over the variables of a Grassmann algebra-in th...

We extend the formalism whereby boson mappings can be derived from generalized coherent states to boson-fermion mappings for systems with an odd number of fermions. This is accomplished by constructing supercoherent states in terms of both complex and Grassmann variables. In addition to a known mapping for the full so(2N+1) algebra, we also uncover some other formal mappings, together with mapp...
