Abstract
The concept of a reproducing triple, developed in the first paper of the series (I), is utilized to give a general definition of a square integrable representation of a group. This definition is applicable to homogeneous spaces of the group, and generalizes earlier attempts at obtaining such notions. Among others, it leads naturally to a notion of equivalence among families of coherent states, and also to the concept of quasi-coherent states, or weighted coherent states. The general considerations are applied to the specific example of the Wigner representation of the Poincaré group P+up (1, 1) in one space and one time dimensions. A whole class of equivalent families of coherent states is derived, each of which corresponds to a continuous frame, in the sense of I.
