A careful study of the physical properties of a family of coherent states on the circle, introduced some years ago by deBì evre and González in [DG 92], is carried out. They were obtained from the Weyl–Heisenberg coherent states in L 2 (R) by means of the Weil– Brezin–Zak transformation, they are labeled by the points of the cylinder S 1 × R, and they provide a realization of L 2 (S 1) by entir...
