• Abstract: During the century of existence of the notion of coherent states, either linear or nonlinear, several schemes for their construction, theoretical or experimental, have been developed. Generally, the mathematical structure of coherent states depends on the choice of ladder operators, and consequently on the structure constants. In this paper, we propose a way to construct generalized coherent states for anharmonic oscillators that is based on a diagonal operator ordering technique (DOOT) applied to generalized hypergeometric functions, that is, on some of the most general special functions. These states are generated by the action of a pair of ladder operators, the creation and the annihilation, whose ordered normal product is equal to the dimensionless Hamiltonian of the quantum system. In addition, the action of these operators is easy to find if the expression for the dimensionless energy eigenvalues is known.

  The 2:1 two-dimensional anisotropic quantum harmonic oscillator is considered and new sets of states are defined. The states generated are good candidates for the natural generalisation of the $mathfraksu(2)$ coherent states. The uncertainty relations of the defining chain of states are calculated and it is found that they admit a resolution of the identity and the spatial distribution of the wavefunction produces Lissajous figures.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
