On Abelian Bosonization of Free Fermi Fields in Three Space Dimensions
Abstract
One of the methods used to extend two-dimensional bosonization to four space-time dimensions involves a transformation to new spatial variables so that only one of them appears kinematically. The problem is then reduced to an Abelian version of two-dimensional bosonization with extra ``internal'' coordinates. On a formal level, putting these internal coordinates on a finite lattice seems to provide a well-defined prescription for calculating correlation functions. However, in the infinite-lattice or continuum limits, certain difficulties appear that require very delicate specification of all of the many limiting procedures involved in the construction.
