Two-dimensional quantum field theories are important in many problems in physics because they contain exact symmetries and are often completely integrable. We demonstrate the power of bosonization in elucidating the structure of a…
Three dimensional bosonization is a conjectured duality between non-supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories coupled to matter fields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. There is a well-established supersymmetric version of…
We show that bosonization in two dimensions can be derived as a special case of the duality transformations that have recently been used to good effect in string theory. This allows the construction of the bosonic counterpart of any…
Dualities and duality transformations form a well established methodology in various aspects of quantum many body physics and quantum field theories, allowing one to exploit equivalence between models which may naively seem completely…
Recent work on a family of boson-fermion mappings has emphasized the interplay of symmetry and duality: Phases related by a particle-vortex duality of bosons (fermions) are related by time-reversal symmetry in their fermionic (bosonic)…
We explore an exact duality in $(2+1)$d between the fermionization of a bosonic theory with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ subsystem symmetry and a fermionic theory with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ subsystem fermion parity symmetry. A typical example is the duality…
We study boson-fermion dualities in one-dimensional many-body problems of identical particles interacting only through two-body contacts. By using the path-integral formalism as well as the configuration-space approach to indistinguishable…
This monograph discusses dualities in physics: what dualities are, their main examples--from quantum mechanics and electrodynamics to statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and string theory--and the philosophical questions they raise.…
We explore new infrared dualities in $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum field theories involving Majorana fermions. Building on the recently proposed operator-deformation approach to bosonization dualities, we incorporate the bosonization of…
We develop a bosonization procedure on the half line. Different boundary conditions, formulated in terms of the vector and axial fermion currents, are implemented by using in general the mixed boundary condition on the bosonic field. The…
We introduce a concise quantum operator formula for bosonization in which the Lie group structure appears in a natural way. The connection between fermions and bosons is found to be exactly the connection between Lie group elements and the…
Bosonization techniques are important nonperturbative tools in quantum field theory. In three dimensions they possess interesting connections to topologically ordered systems and ultimately have driven the observation of an impressive web…
We establish the action of the three-dimensional non-Abelian bosonization dualities in the presence of a boundary, which supports a non-anomalous two-dimensional theory. In particular, we generalize a prescriptive method for assigning…
We show that abelian bosonization of 1+1 dimensional fermion systems can be interpreted as duality transformation and, as a conseguence, it can be generalized to arbitrary dimensions in terms of gauge forms of rank $d-1$, where $d$ is the…
In this work we provide a bosonized version of the Thirring model in 2+1 dimensions in the case of single fermion species, where we do not have the benefit of large N expansion. In this situation there are very few analytical methods to…
We show in three dimensions, using functional integral techniques, the equivalence between the partition functions of the massive Thirring model and a gauge theory with two gauge fields, to all orders in the inverse fermion mass. Detailed…
We develop a technique that solders the dual aspects of some symmetry. Using this technique it is possible to combine two theories with such symmetries to yield a new effective theory. Some applications in two and three dimensional…
We conjecture a new sequence of dualities between Chern-Simons gauge theories simultaneously coupled to fundamental bosons and fermions. These dualities reduce to those proposed by Aharony when the number of bosons or fermions is zero. Our…
This is a general introduction to duality in field theories. The existence and breaking of global symmetries is used as a guideline to systematically prove duality between different field theories. Systems discussed include abelian and…
We advocate an account of dualities between physical theories: the basic idea is that dual theories are isomorphic representations of a common core. We defend and illustrate this account, which we call a Schema, in relation to symmetries.…
