Cˆandido Ribeiro , Departamento de F´ısica - Instituto de Biociˆencias, Letras e Ciˆencias Exatas UNESP, S˜ao Jos´e do Rio Preto, SP - Brazil Abstract A decomposition of identity is given as a complex integral over the coherent states associated with a class of shape-invariant self-similar potentials. There is a remarkable connection between these coherent states and Ramanujan’s integral extension of the beta function. ∗Electronic address: armando@if.ufrj.br †Electronic address: baha@nucth.physics.wisc.edu ‡Electronic address: macr@df.ibilce.unesp.br 1 I. INTRODUCTION Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is the study of pairs of Hamiltonians with identical energy spectra and with eigenstates that are different, but can be transformed into each other [1,2]. Some, but not all, such pairs of Hamiltonians share an integrability condition called shape-invariance [3]. In Ref. [4] it was shown that the shape-invariance condition has an underlying algebraic structure and the associated Lie algebras were identified. Utilizing this algebraic structure a general definition of coherent states for
