Let HH be a complex . Its symmetric (bosonic) Fock space is the Hilbert direct sum

S(H)=^n=0Symn(H),S(H)=\widehat{\bigoplus}_{n=0}^\infty \operatorname{Sym}^n(H),

where Symn(H)\operatorname{Sym}^n(H) is the completed symmetric nn-fold tensor power. The unit vector e0Sym0(H)Ce_0\in\operatorname{Sym}^0(H)\cong\mathbb C is the vacuum vector.

Remarks

Key properties (paper use):

  • Carries creation/annihilation operators and the Fock–Cook field operators.
  • The canonical action of U(H)U(H) second-quantizes to a unitary action on S(H)S(H).
Examples
  • If H=CH=\mathbb C, then S(H)2(N0)S(H)\cong \ell^2(\mathbb N_0).
