Abstract:
Group-theoretical aspects of the problem of fermion pair creation in a homogeneous alternating external field are considered. It is shown that the dynamical symmetry group of this problem is SU(2N) (N=2s+1, where s is the particle spin) and that the state of the system that arises during evolution is a generalized coherent state associated with this group. The probability of pair creation is given by the square of the modulus of the matrix element of a definite representation of SU(2N). For particles of spin 1/2 in certain cases the symmetry
group reduces to SU(2)×SU(2).
