Abstract

We construct a new class of representations of the canonical commutation relations, which generalizes previously known classes. We perturb the infinitesimal generator of the initial Fock representation (in other words, the free quantum field) by a function of the field which is square-integrable with respect to the associated Gaussian measure. We characterize perturbations which lead to representations of the canonical commutation relations. We provide conditions entailing the irreducibility of such representations, show explicitly that our class of representations subsumes previously studied classes, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for our representations to be unitarily equivalent, or just quasi-equivalent, with Fock, coherent or quasifree representations. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 81S05, 46L60, 81T05.
