Bose Algebras: The Complex and Real Wave Representations
The mathematics of Bose-Fock spaces is built on the notion of a commutative algebra and this algebraic structure makes the theory appealing both to mathematicians with no background in physics and to theorectical and mathematical physicists who will at on

Introduction The aim of this paper is to present some results, which are consequences of an algebraization of the concept of Bose-Fock space. Though having their origin and principal area of application in theoretical physics, the usefulness of Bose-Fock spaces extends much further. They appear in digital signal processing [26], filtering theory [8] and in a new formalized description of the process of communication within the human society [22]. Bose-Fock spaces were brought to the attention of mathematicians by Irving E. Segal [15,16,17] and others (cf.[3]) in the sixties. In this paper both the Bose-Fock space and the accompanying creation and annihilation operator formalism have been combined to form a single well known mathematical object, namely an algebra. Given a Hilbert space *,, consider the free commutative algebra f * O generated by the linear space * and a fixed multiplicative unit 0, called the vacuum. The scalar product from * is extended over T0* in such a way that the adjoints to the operators of multiplication by elements in are derivations in the algebra. The algebra f provided O wi th such an extension of the scalar product is known as the Bose algebra with base *, (in physical literature the base space is called "the one-boson-space").

The main advantage of treating the Bose-Fock spaces in this manner is th
