Abstract

My intention is to present some results related to the construction of coherent states [Perelomov, 1987] in a Hilbert space whose elements are cohomology classes. Such spaces appear in twistor theory and they have very important physical aplications as the quantum spaces of massless particles. This work is a small part of my doctoral thesis which will be published soon. It contains details and proofs of all facts I mention below.
