Bosonization and Lie Group Structure

Abstract

We introduce a concise quantum operator formula for bosonization in which the Lie group structure appears in a natural way. The connection between fermions and bosons is found to be exactly the connection between Lie group elements and the group parameters. Bosonization is an extraordinary way of expressing the equation of motion of a complex fermion field in terms of a real scalar boson in two dimensions. All the properties of the fermion field theory are known to be preserved under this remarkable transformation with substantial simplification and elucidation of the original theory, much like Lie groups can be studied by their Lie algebras.

Symmetries in Bosonization

Yuan K Ha

Two-dimensional quantum field theories are important in many problems in physics because they contain exact symmetries and are often completely integrable. We demonstrate the power of bosonization in elucidating the structure of a multi-component fermion theory with chiral and internal symmetries. Many remarkable features and quantum symmetries in such a system are most readily uncovered in the bosonized form of the original fermion theory.

The lie algebraic structure of the set of one-particle fermion operators

Brian Weiner

The manifold of one-particle operators has a rich group structure. It is the Lie algebra of the complex Lie group GL(2s,), (2s = dimension of one-particle spin orbital basis) realized as second-quantized operators acting in fermion fock space. This representation is reduced by the subspaces referring to N particles (N = 0, 1, 2,…). One can associate families of coherent states within each of these subspaces with real forms, Gr, of GL(2s,). These families have isotropy groups, Hr, which are associated with subgroups of these real forms (isotropy groups are the groups of transformations that leave a state invariant). The cosets GL(2s,)/Hr can be given an exponential parameterization that labels the coherent states. This label space is a complex vector space which is in correspondence with the nonlinear manifold of coherent states in the hilbert space ℋ︁N. These complex variables can be made time dependent, and by utilizing the time-dependent variation principle one can obtain a nonlinear approximation to the time-dependent Schrödinger equation which has the form of classical equations of motion in a generalized phase space 𝒫 = Grc/Hrc. This classical dynamics can be given a Hilbert space description, where the Hilbert space is a subspace of square integrable holomorphic functions f: ↦ 𝒫 → and is isomorphic with ℋ︁N. Different pairs {Gr,Hr} are associated with different families of coherent states. Some examples of these constructions are given, and the structure of the approximate time evolution is discussed and related to time-dependent approximation schemes and generalized random phase approximations (RPA).

Quantum dynamics

In this chapter, we derived some elements of quantum mechanics, which are essential for the further development of our theory: the momentum of a system of Fermions in the second quantization, the coordinate and momentum of a harmonic oscillator as a unique operator at two different moments of time, Boson and Fermion operator algebra, coherent states, the electron-field interaction, the quantization of the electromagnetic field, Boson and Fermion distributions, and densities of states in a degenerate, or a non-degenerate system of Fermions. Our starting point is the wave nature of a quantum particle, the Hamiltonian equations were obtained as group velocities in the two conjugate spaces of the wave, of the coordinates and of the momentum. In this way, the Schr¨odinger equation and the electron-field potential of interaction are obtained from quantum equations generated by the particle wave function.

A new way to unify all fermion and boson fields, including gravity

N. S. Mankoč Borštnik

The description of the internal spaces of fermion and boson fields with "basis vectors", which are the superposition of odd and even products of the operators $γ^a$, offers in $d=2(2n+1)$-dimensions, such as $d=(13+1)$, a unified picture of all so far observed fermions (quarks, leptons, antiquarks and antileptons that appear in families) and bosons (gravitons, photons, weak bosons, gluons and scalars), under the condition that all fields have non-zero angular momenta only in the $d =(3+1)$, $SO(3,1)$, of ordinary space-time. Bosons, which also carry the spatial index $α$ (which is for tensors and vectors $μ=(0,1,2,3)$ and for scalars $σ\ge 5$) appear in two orthogonal groups. In any $d=2(2n+1)$-dimensional space the number of internal states of fermions in all families and their Hermitian conjugate partners is equal to the number of internal states of boson states. The article presents general properties of massless fermion and boson fields and their mutual interactions in this theory, which determine the Lagrangian density of both fields and their interactions. It particularly illustrates "basis vectors" and their properties in $d=(13+1)$ and $d=(5+1)$. The article presents new results and discusses open problems in this theory.

The basic physical Lie operations

Heinrich Saller

Quantum theory can be formulated as a theory of operations, more specific, of complex represented operations from real Lie groups. Hilbert space eigenvectors of acting Lie operations are used as states or particles. The simplest simple Lie groups have three dimensions. These groups together with their contractions and subgroups contain - in the simplest form - all physically important operations which come as translations for causal time, for space and for spacetime, as rotations, Lorentz transformations and as Euclidean and Poincare transformations with scattering and particle states and also - via the Heisenberg groups - as the operational structure of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The classification of all those groups and their contractions is given together with their Hilbert spaces, constituted by energy-momentum functions. The groups representation matrix elements can be written as residues of energy-momentum poles - simple poles for abelian translations, e.g. in Feynman propagators, and dipoles for simple Lie group operations, e.g. in the Schroedinger wave functions for the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom.

A New Fermion Many-Body Theory Based on the SO(2N+1) Lie Algebra of the Fermion Operators

Hideo Fukutome, M. Yamamura, Seiya Nishiyama

A new many-body theory for fermions is proposed wihich is based on the SO(2N+1) Lie algebra of the fermion operators consisted of the annihilation-creation operators and the pair operators. A New cannonical transformation, which is the extension of the Bogoliubov transformation to the SO(2N+1) group, is introduced. A new bose representation for the fermion Lie operators is obtained by mapping the fermion Lie operators into the regular representation of the SO(2N+1) group. The annihilation-creation operators and the pair operators of fermions are represented by the closed first order differential operators on the SO(2N+1) group. An exact representation of fermion wavefunctions in a form similar to the wavefunction of the generator coordinate method is obtained making use of the SO(2N+1) canonical transformation. The physical fermion space is shown to be the irreducible spinor representation of the SO(2N+1) group. The dynamics of fermions in the bose representation space is shown to represent rotations of a 2N+1 dimensional rotator.

In this way, the Schr¨odinger equation and the electron-field potential of interaction are obtained from quantum equations generated by the particle wave function.
