We introduce a new mathematical object, the "fermionant" ${\mathrm{Ferm}}_N(G)$, of type $N$ of an $n \times n$ matrix $G$. It represents certain $n$-point functions involving $N$ species of free fermions. When N=1, the fermionant reduces…

In statistical mechanics, for a system with fixed number of particles, e.g., a finite-size system, strictly speaking, the thermodynamic quantity needs to be calculated in the canonical ensemble. Nevertheless, the calculation of the…
For a system of bosons that interact through a class of general memory kernels, a recurrence relation for the partition function is derived within the path-integral formalism. This approach provides a generalization to previously known…

We consider a recently proposed approach to bosonization in which the original fermionic partition function is expressed as a product of a $G/G$-coset model and a bosonic piece that contains the dynamics. In particular we show how the…
We derive the ground-state energy of $N$ composite bosons made of fermion pairs using the recently developed composite boson many-body formalism. We concentrate on the $N$-pair energy linear in density. We show that the scattering relevant…
The theory of composite bosons (cobosons) made of two fermions [Phys. Rev. A 71, 034306 (2005), Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 260403 (2012)] converges to ordinary structureless bosons in the limit of infinitely strong entanglement between the…
In this work, we present a compact analytical approximation for the quantum partition function of systems composed of quantum oscillators. The proposed formula is general and applicable to an arbitrary number of oscillators described by a…
We use the composite boson (coboson) many-body formalism to tackle scattering lengths for cold fermionic atoms. We show that bound dimers can be taken as elementary entities provided that fermion exchanges between them are treated exactly,…
One-dimensional repulsive delta-function bose system is studied. By only using the Bethe ansatz equation, n-particle partition functions are exactly calculated. From this expression for the n-particle partition function, the n-particle…
We compute the partition function of an anyon-like harmonic oscillator. The well known results for both the bosonic and fermionic oscillators are then reobtained as particular cases as ours. The technique we employ is a non-relativistic…
Quantum mechanics broadly classifies the particles into two categories: $(1)$ fermions and $(2)$ bosons. Fermions are half-integer spin particles, obeying Pauli's exclusion principle and Fermi-Dirac statistics. Whereas bosons are integer…
Partition functions of a canonical ensemble of non-interacting bound electrons are a key ingredient of the super-transition-array approach to the computation of radiative opacity. A few years ago, we published a robust and stable recursion…

Boson condensation in topological quantum field theories (TQFT) has been previously investigated through the formalism of Frobenius algebras and the use of vertex lifting coefficients. While general, this formalism is physically opaque and…
