Quantum group symmetry for kaleidoscope of hydrodynamic images and quantum states

Abstract

The hydrodynamic flow in several bounded domains can be formulated by the image theorems, like the two circle, the wedge and the strip theorems, describing flow by q-periodic functions. Depending on geometry of the domain, parameter q has different geometrical meanings and values. In the special case of the wedge domain, with q as a primitive root of unity, the set of images appears as a regular polygon kaleidoscope. By interpreting the wave function in the Fock-Barman representation as complex potential of a flow, we find modn projection operators in the space of quantum coherent states, related with operator q-numbers. They determine the units of quantum information as kaleidoscope of quantum states with quantum group symmetry of the q-oscillator. Expansion of Glauber coherent states to these units and corresponding entropy are discussed.
