The vacuum wave function is given by a Gaussian in the Schrödinger representation and we study the general structure of the operator appearing in the Gaussian. We show that it obeys a Riccati equation and we provide the general solution.10 pages, LaTeX + revtex4High Energy Physics - TheoryOn the structure of the vacuum state in general boundary quantum field theorytext
