Generalized su(1,1) algebra and the construction of nonlinear coherent states for Pöschl-Teller potential

Abstract: We introduce a generalization structure of the su(1,1) algebra which depends on a function of one generator of the algebra, f(H). Following the same ideas developed to the generalized Heisenberg algebra (GHA) and to the generalized su(2), we show that a symmetry is present in the sequence of eigenvalues of one generator of the algebra. Then, we construct the Barut-Girardello coherent states associated with the generalized su(1,1) algebra for a particle in a P\"oschl-Teller potential. Furthermore, we compare the time evolution of the uncertainty relation of the constructed coherent states with that of GHA coherent states. The generalized su(1,1) coherent states are very localized.
