CAR on Fock spacesThis chapter is devoted to the study of Fock representations of the canonical anticommutation relations, a basic tool of quantum many-body theory and quantum field theory.It is parallel to Chap. 9, where Fock CCR representations were studied.The basic framework is almost the same as in Chap.9. Throughout this chapter Z is a Hilbert space, called the one-particle space.We will consider the Fock CAR representation acting on the fermionic Fock space Γ a (Z).As in Sect.1.3, we introduce the space Y = Re(Z ⊕ Z) := {(z, z) : z ∈ Z}, which will serve as the dual phase space of our system.Recall that in the bosonic case we equipped Y with the structure of the Kähler space consisting of the anti-involution j, the Euclidean scalar product • and the symplectic form ω: j(z, z) := (iz, iz), (13.1) (z, z) • (w, w) := 2Re(z|w), (13.2) (z, z)•ω(w, w) := 2Im(z|w) = -(z, z) • j(w, w).(13.3)In our presentation of the fermionic case, we will need the Kähler anti-involution j.The symplectic form ω will not be used.Instead of the scalar product (13.2) we will use another scalar product,Again we will avoid identifing Z with Y. CY is identified with Z ⊕ Z by the mapY # , the space dual to Y, is canonically identified with Re(Z ⊕ Z) by using the scalar product (9.2), and CY # is identified with Z ⊕ Z. Fock CAR representationConsider the fermionic Fock space Γ a (Z).Recall that, for z ∈ Z, a * (z), resp.a(z) denote the corresponding creation, resp.annihilation operators defined in Sect.3.4.
