Caustics in the Grassmann Integral

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

It is shown that a simple model of 2N-Grassmann variables with a four-body coupling involves caustics when the integral has been converted to a bosonic form with the aid of the auxiliary field. Approximation is then performed to assure validity of the auxiliary field method(AFM). It turns out that even in N=2, the smallest case in which a four-body interaction exists, AFM does work more excellently if higher order effects, given by a series in terms of 1/N1/31/N^{1/3} around a caustic and of 1/N around a saddle point, would be taken into account.
