Composite bosons, here called quasibosons (e.g. mesons, excitons, etc), occur in various physical situations. Quasibosons differ from bosons or fermions as their creation and annihilation operators obey non-standard commutation relations, even for the 'fermion+fermion' composites. Our aim is to realize the operator algebra of quasibosons composed of two fermions or two q -fermions ( q -deformed fermions) by the respective operators of deformed oscillators, the widely studied objects. For this, the restrictions on quasiboson creation/annihilation operators and on the deformed oscillator (deformed boson) algebra are obtained. Their resolving proves the uniqueness of the family of deformations and gives explicitly the deformation structure function (DSF) which provides the desired realization. In the case of two fermions as constituents, such realization is achieved when the DSF is a quadratic polynomial in the number operator. In the case of two q -fermions, q ≠ 1, the obtained DSF inherits the parameter q and does not continuously converge when q → 1 to the DSF of the first case.

The question of boson realization of fermions is considered in the general context of q -deformation.

Recent experimental results by Metz, Jolie and collaborators have led to renewed interest in the notion of dynamical supersymmetry in fermion many-body systems. By considering the general problem of constructing a boson-fermion realization for Lie algebras with generators expressed in terms of fermion and bifermion operators, also when favored pairs dictate the structure of collective bosons, we demonstrate that dynamical “supersymmetry without bosons” can indeed emerge in a fermion system without any Pauli Violations. Our construction of the general realization utilizes the identification of a physical subspace and allows one to identify the images of single particle transfer operators uniquely, unlike the situation in phenomenological applications of dynamical supersymmetry.
