Abstract

A connection between the deformed Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) algebra and an extended system of the parafermion trilinear commutation relations for the creation and annihilation operators $a_k^{\pm }$ and for an additional operator $a_0$ obeying para-Fermi statistics of order 2 based on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{o}(2M+2)$ is established. An appropriate system of the parafermion coherent states as functions of para-Grassmann numbers is introduced. The representation for the operator $a_0$ in terms of generators of the orthogonal group SO(2M) correctly reproducing action of this operator on the state vectors of Fock space is obtained. A connection of the Geyer operator $a_0^2$ with the operator of so-called G-parity and with the CPT- operator ${\widehat{\eta }}_5$ of the DKP-theory is established. In a para-Grassmann algebra a noncommutative, associative star product $\ast$ (the Moyal product) as a direct generalization of the star product in the algebra of Grassmann numbers is introduced. Two independent approaches to the calculation of the Moyal product $\ast$ are considered. It is shown that in calculating the matrix elements in the basis of parafermion coherent states of various operator expressions it should be taken into account constantly that we work in the so-called Ohnuki and Kamefuchi’s generalized state-vector space ${\mathfrak{U}}_G$, whose state vectors include para-Grassmann numbers ${\xi }_k$ in their definition, instead of the standard state-vector space $\mathfrak{U}$ (the Fock space).
