TL;DR

This paper derives a formula expressing magnetic Berezin transforms on generalized Bargmann-Fock spaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$ as functions of the Euclidean Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}$. It establishes that the transform $B_m$ for each eigenspace $A_m^2(\mathbb{C}^n)$ associated with a uniform magnetic field is given by a differential operator involving Laguerre polynomials and Pochhammer symbols, extending the known $B_0 = e^{\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}$ result to higher Landau levels.

ABSTRACT

We give a formula that express magnetic Berezin transforms associated with generalized Bargmann-Fock spaces as functions of the Euclidean Laplacian on Cn.

Motivation & Objective

• To extend the notion of Berezin transform from the standard Bargmann-Fock space to generalized Bargmann-Fock spaces associated with higher Landau levels in $\mathbb{C}^n$ under a uniform magnetic field.
• To express the magnetic Berezin transform $B_m$ for each $m \geq 0$ as a function of the Euclidean Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}$, generalizing the known $B_0 = e^{\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}$ formula.
• To provide a unified operator-theoretic representation of $B_m$ using differential operators involving Laguerre polynomials and Pochhammer symbols.

Proposed method

• Define the magnetic Berezin transform $B_m[\phi](z)$ via a convolution with a weight function involving the square of the Laguerre polynomial $L_m^{(n-1)}(|w|^2)$.
• Use the ground state transformation to relate the Schrödinger operator with magnetic field to the operator $\widetilde{\Delta}$ on $L^2(\mathbb{C}^n, e^{-|z|^2}d\mu)$.
• Apply spectral theory and integral transforms, including Bessel functions $J_n$, to analyze the eigenfunction expansion of the transform.
• Utilize integral identities involving Laguerre polynomials and Bessel functions, particularly formula (4.34) from [13], to evaluate the resulting integrals.
• Derive a closed-form expression by substituting $\lambda = ts$ and applying the integral formula (4.31) to transform the Laplace-type integral.
• Establish the final formula by combining asymptotic behavior, orthogonality, and identities for associated Laguerre polynomials, including $L_p^{(-k)}(x) = (-x)^k \frac{(p-k)!}{p!} L_{p-k}^{(k)}(x)$.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 Can the Berezin transform on generalized Bargmann-Fock spaces for higher Landau levels be expressed as a function of the Euclidean Laplacian on $\mathbb{C}^n$?
• RQ2 How does the structure of the Berezin transform for $m > 0$ differ from the standard $B_0 = e^{\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}$ case?
• RQ3 What role do Laguerre polynomials and Pochhammer symbols play in the operator representation of $B_m$?
• RQ4 Is there a unified formula that reduces to the known $B_0$ case when $m=0$ and $n=1$?
• RQ5 How do the differential operators in the transform formula reflect the underlying magnetic field and Landau level structure?

Key findings

• The magnetic Berezin transform $B_m$ for the $m$-th Landau level in $\mathbb{C}^n$ is given by $B_m = \frac{1}{(n)_m} e^{\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}} \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{(n-1)_k (m-k)!}{k!} \left(\frac{\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}{4}\right)^k L_{m-k}^{(k)}\left(\frac{\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}{4}\right) L_{m-k}^{(n-1+k)}\left(\frac{\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}{4}\right)$.
• The formula reduces to $B_0 = e^{\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}^n}}$ when $m=0$, confirming consistency with the known result for the standard Bargmann-Fock space.
• For $n=1$, the formula simplifies to $B_m = \exp\left(\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}}\right) \left(L_m^{(0)}\left(-\frac{1}{4}\Delta_{\mathbb{C}}\right)\right)^2$, which matches the derived expression in the $n=1$ case.
• The expression involves a finite sum over $k$ from 0 to $m$, with coefficients involving Pochhammer symbols $(n-1)_k$ and factorials $(m-k)!$, reflecting the combinatorial structure of the Landau levels.
• The derivation relies on the integral identity $\int_1^\infty \rho^{-n/2} J_n(a\sqrt{\rho}) d\rho = 2a^{-1} J_{n-1}(a)$, which enables the transformation of the Laplace-type integral into a Bessel function form.
• The final formula is valid for all $n \geq 1$ and $m \geq 0$, with the case $n=1$ being a special instance of the general formula, verified via the identity $L_p^{(-k)}(x) = (-x)^k \frac{(p-k)!}{p!} L_{p-k}^{(k)}(x)$.
