Description
Summary:This paper deals with bases in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Such a space can be realized as a subspace of the representation space of SU₂ corresponding to an irreducible representation of SU₂. The representation theory of SU₂ is reconsidered via the use of two truncated deformed oscillators. This leads to replacement of the familiar scheme {j²,jz} by a scheme {j²,vra}, where the two-parameter operator vra is defined in the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra su₂. The eigenvectors of the commuting set of operators {j²,vra} are adapted to a tower of chains SO₃⊃C₂j₊₁ (2j∈N∗), where C₂j₊₁ is the cyclic group of order 2j+1. In the case where 2j+1 is prime, the corresponding eigenvectors generate a complete set of mutually unbiased bases. Some useful relations on generalized quadratic Gauss sums are exposed in three appendices
