The Schrödinger representation and its relation to the holomorphic
representation in linear and affine field theory    [PDF]

Robert Oeckl

We establish a precise isomorphism between the Schr\"odinger representation and the holomorphic representation in linear and affine field theory. In the linear case this isomorphism is induced by a one-to-one correspondence between complex structures and Schr\"odinger vacua. In the affine case we obtain similar results, with the role of the vacuum now taken by a whole family of coherent states. In order to establish these results we exhibit a rigorous construction of the Schr\"odinger representation and use a suitable generalization of the Segal-Bargmann transform. Our construction is based on geometric quantization and applies to any real polarization and its pairing with any K\"ahler polarization.
