We give an elementary derivation of the vertex-operator derivation McMahon formula, counting all plane partitions of all size into a single generating function. We fill in some details appearing in Okounkov, Reshetikhin, and Vafa based on…
The two-dimensional Ising model is representable as a lattice free-fermion field theory in terms of the integral over anticommuting Grassmann variables. The exact solution in a zero magnetic field then follows by evaluating Gaussian…
We consider the entanglement properties of free fermions in one dimension and review an approach which relates the problem to the solution of a certain differential equation. The single-particle eigenfunctions of the entanglement…
We derive a formula for the moments and the free cumulants of the multiplication of $k$ free random variables in terms of $k$-equal and $k$-divisible non-crossing partitions. This leads to a new simple proof for the bounds of the right-edge…
In this letter we study the negativity of one dimensional free fermions. We derive the general form of the $\mathbb{Z}_{N}$ symmetric term in moments of the partial transposed (reduced) density matrix, which is an algebraic function of the…
This thesis studies the role of free fermions in certain classical and quantum integrable models. The classical models studied are the KP and BKP hierarchies of partial differential equations. We review the presence of free fermions in the…
We compare the structures and methods in the theory of causal fermion systems with approaches to fundamental physics based on division algebras, in particular the octonions. We find that octonions and, more generally, tensor products of…
A method for describing charged relativistic Fermi fields is proposed, in which particles of opposite charges are treated equally and states with negative energy are excluded. The concept of charge quantum number is introduced. Fields of…
A combinatorial formula is derived which expresses free cumulants in terms of classical comulants. As a corollary, we give a combinatorial interpretation of free cumulants of classical distributions, notably Gaussian and Poisson…
We study relativistic fermionic systems in $3+1$ spacetime dimensions at finite chemical potential and zero temperature, from a path-integral point of view. We show how to properly account for the $i\varepsilon$ term that projects on the…
We present a method for the modeling of fermionic reservoirs using a new class of ancillary damped fermions, dubbed purified pseudofermions, which exhibit unusual free correlations. We show that this key feature, when combined with existing…
The Hamiltonian renormalisation programme motivated by constructive QFT and Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction which was recently launched for bosonic field theories is extended to fermions. As fermion quantisation is not in terms of…
A method used recently to obtain a formalism for classical fields with non-local actions preserving chiral symmetry and uniqueness of fermion fields yields a discrete version of Huygens' principle with free discrete propagators that recover…
We study a specific class of CFTs that involve coupled free fermions, arising from parafermion CFTs and lattice constructions. We analyse their representation spaces and the underlying exclusion statistics of coupled free fermions using…
Charret et. al. applied the properties of the Grassmann generators to develop a new method to calculate the coefficients of the high temperature expansion of the grand canonical partition function of self-interacting fermionic models in any…
The theory of a massless two-dimensional scalar field with a periodic boundary interaction is considered. At a critical value of the period this system defines a conformal field theory and can be re-expressed in terms of free fermions,…
We carry out the extension of the covariant Ostrogradski method to fermionic field theories. Higher-derivative Lagrangians reduce to second order differential ones with one explicit independent field for each degree of freedom.
We derive a formula for expressing free cumulants whose entries are products of random variables in terms of the lattice structure of non-crossing partitions. We show the usefulness of that result by giving direct and conceptually simple…
We show how Ramond free neutral Fermi fields lead to a $\tau$-function theory of BKP type which describes iso-orthogonal deformations of systems of ortogonal curvilinear coordinates. We also provide a vertex operator representation for the…
We argue that simpler fermionic contents, responsible for the extension of the standard model with gauged lepton and baryon charges, can be constructed by assuming existence of so-called leptoquarks (j,k) with exotic electric charges…
