Abstract

For the q-deformed canonical commutation relations a(f)a*(g)= (1 - q)[f, g] 1 + qa*(g)a(f) for f, g in some Hilbert space H we consider representations generated from a vector f)f, where phiin H. We show that such a representation exists if and only if normphi. Moreover, for normphi, these representations are unitarily equivalent to the Fock representation (obtained for ). On the other hand representations obtained for different unit vectors phi are disjoint. We show that the universal C*-algebra for the relations has a largest proper, closed, two-sided ideal. The quotient by this ideal is a natural q-analogue of the Cuntz algebra (obtained for q = 0). We discuss the conjecture that, for d lt this analogue should, in fact, be equal to the Cuntz algebra itself. In the limiting cases q = we determine all irreducible representations of the relations, and characterize those which can be obtained via coherent states.
