Analysis of generalized Poisson distributions associated with higher Landau levels
Abstract
To a higher Landau level corresponds a generalized Poisson distribution arising from generalized coherent states. In this paper, we write down the atomic decomposition of this probability distribution and express its probability mass function as a -hypergeometric polynomial. Then, we prove that it is not infinitely divisible in contrast with the Poisson distribution corresponding to the lowest Landau level. We also derive a Lévy–Khintchine-type representation of its characteristic function when the latter does not vanish and deduce that the representative measure is a quasi-Lévy measure. By considering the total variation of this last measure, we obtain the characteristic function of a new infinitely divisible discrete probability distribution for which we also compute the probability mass function.
