Bargmann representations for deformed harmonic oscillators

Generalizing the case of the usual harmonic oscillator, we look for Bargmann representations corresponding to deformed harmonic oscillators. Deformed harmonic oscillator algebras are generated by four operators $a, a^\dagger, N$ and the unity 1 such as $[a,N] = a, [a^\dagger,N] = -a^\dagger$, $a^\dagger a = ψ(N)$ and $aa^\dagger =ψ(N+1)$. We discuss the conditions of existence of a scalar product expressed with a true integral on the space spanned by the eigenstates of $a$ (or $a^\dagger$). We give various examples, in particular we consider functions $ψ$ that are linear combinations of $q^N$, $q^{-N}$ and unity and that correspond to q-oscillators with Fock-representations or with non-Fock-representations.
