Abstract

We describe coherent states and associated generalized Grassmann variables for a system of m independent q-boson modes. A resolution of unity in terms of generalized Berezin integrals leads to generalized Grassmann symbolic calculus. Formulae for operator traces are given and the thermodynamic partition function for a system of q-boson oscillators is discussed.

Para-Grassmann Variables and Coherent States

D. C. Cabra

The definitions of para-Grassmann variables and (/-oscillator algebras are re called.Some new properties are given.We then introduce appropriate coherent states as well as their dual states.This allows us to obtain a formula for the trace of a operator expressed as a function of the creation and annihilation operators.

Coherent States

Bryan J. Dalton, John Jeffers, Stephen Mark Barnett

Abstract This chapter defines and determines the properties of the important (though non-physical) boson and fermion coherent states, which are specified in terms of c-number (bosons) or Grassmann (fermions) variables and their complex conjugates, and defined via unitary displacement operators acting on the vacuum state. Important non-orthogonality, overcompleteness and coherence properties of coherent states are obtained. Coherent states are shown to be eigenstates of mode annihilation operators, with eigenvalues given by the c-number or Grassmann variable specifying the state. Related (unnormalised) Bargmann states are defined, depending only on the variable and not its complex conjugate, and are used to obtain useful representations of physical states and canonical forms for operators in terms of Bargmann state projectors, as well as obtaining important results such as for traces of operator products in terms of phase space integrals. Mode creation operators acting on Bargmann states are shown as equivalent to differentiation.

Coherent states for the quantum complex plane

K. Kowalski, Jakub Rembieliński

The coherent states for the quantum complex plane are introduced. It is demonstrated that the Bargmann representation corresponding to these states involves both the standard integral with respect to the Gaussian measure and the Berezin integral over Grassmann variables. The quantum generalizations of many constructions developed for classical coherent states are described.

Fermionic coherent states

Monique Combescure, Didier Robert

The aim of this paper is to give a self-contained and unified presentation of a fermionic coherent state theory with the necessary mathematical details, discussing their definition, properties and some applications. After defining Grassmann algebras, it is possible to get a classical analog for the fermionic degrees of freedom in a quantum system. Following the basic work of Berezin (1966 The Method of Second Quantization (New York: Academic); 1987 Introduction to Superanalysis (Dordrecht: Reidel Publishing Company)), we show that we can compute with Grassmann numbers as we do with complex numbers: derivation, integration, Fourier transform. After that we show that we have quantization formulas for fermionic observables. In particular, there exists a Moyal product formula. As an application, we consider explicit computations for propagators with quadratic Hamiltonians in annihilation and creation operators. We prove a Mehler formula for the propagator and Mehlig–Wilkinson-type formulas for the covariant and contravariant symbols of ‘metaplectic’ transformations for fermionic states. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to ‘Coherent states: mathematical and physical aspects’.

Bosonization and even Grassmann Variables

M. B. Barbaro, Alfredo Molinari, Palumbo F.

We test a new approach to bosonization in relativistic field theories and many-body systems, based on the use of fermionic composites as integration variables in the Berezin integral defining the partition function of the system. The method appears promising since at zeroth order it correctly describes the propagators of the composites, which can be evaluated in a number of significant cases. Still to be established is a general procedure for deriving the free action of the composites starting from the one of the constituents. To shed light on this problem and to explore further features of the method we study a simplified version of the BCS model. In this simple case the action of the composites can indeed be obtained: whether this result can be generalized it remains hewever to be seen. Yet an interesting property of the wave operators appearing in the free actions of bilinear composites already emerges from the simple problem we have treated: here the wave operators do not describe any time evolution, even though they generate the right propagators. This outcome relates to the basic properties of the integrals over the even elements of a Grassmann algebra where the composites live, which entails that the propagators are no longer the inverse of the wave operators.
