چکیده
Coherent states can be used for diverse applications in quantum physics including the construction of coherent state path integrals. Most definitions make use of a lattice regularization; however, recent definitions employ a continuous-time regularization that may involve a Wiener measure concentrated on continuous phase space paths. The introduction of constraints is both natural and economical in coherent state path integrals involving only the dynamical and Lagrange multiplier variables. A preliminary indication of how these procedures may possibly be applied to quantum gravity is briefly discussed.

Quantum mechanical phase space path integrals are re-examined with regard to the physical interpretation of the phase space variables involved. It is demonstrated that the traditional phase space path integral implies a meaning for the variables involved that is manifestly inconsistent. On the other hand, a phase space path integral based on coherent states entails variables that exhibit a self...

We develop the formulation of the spin(SU(2)) coherent state path integrals based on arbitrary fiducial vectors. The resultant action in the path integral expression extensively depends on the vector; It differs from the conventional one in that it has a generalized form having some additional terms. We also study, as physical applications, the geometric phases associated with the coherent stat...

We use the SU (2) coherent state path integral formulation with the stationary phase approximation to investigate, both analytically and numerically, the existence of shock waves in the one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnets with anisotropic exchange interaction. As a result we show the existence of shock waves of two types, " bright " and " dark " , which can be interpreted as moving magnetic...
