Wick's theorem, known for yielding normal ordered from time-ordered bosonic fields may be generalized for a simple relationship between any two orderings that we define over canonical variables, in a broader sense than before. In this broad…
The problem of ordering operators has afflicted quantum mechanics since its foundation. Several orderings have been devised, but a systematic procedure to move from one ordering to another is still missing. The importance of establishing…
A new generalized Wick theorem for interacting fields in 2D conformal field theory is described. We briefly discuss its relation to the Borcherds identity and its derivation by an analytic method. Examples of the calculations of the…
We present a compact and simplified proof of a generalized Wick theorem to calculate the Green's function of bosonic and fermionic systems in an arbitrary initial state. It is shown that the decomposition of the non-interacting $n$-particle…
We consider arbitrary splits of field operators into two parts, and use the corresponding definition of normal ordering introduced by Evans and Steer. In this case the normal ordered products and contractions have none of the special…
The algebraic formulation of Wick's theorem that allows one to present the vacuum or thermal averages of the chronological product of an arbitrary number of field operators as a determinant (permanent) of the matrix is proposed. Each…
In this paper combinatorial aspects of normal ordering arbitrary words in the creation and annihilation operators of the q-deformed boson are discussed. In particular, it is shown how by introducing appropriate q-weights for the associated…
As a counterpart of the well-known generalized Wick theorem by Bais et. al. in 1988 for interacting fields in two dimensional conformal field theory, we present a new contour integral formula for the operator product expansion of a normally…
We discuss a general combinatorial framework for operator ordering problems by applying it to the normal ordering of the powers and exponential of the boson number operator. The solution of the problem is given in terms of Bell and Stirling…
We present a new technique for putting general boson fields into ant-Wick ordered form. The anti-Wick map associates an operator with a given function of complex variables, and we show that it may be realized as composition of a mapping to…
In quantum field theory, physicists routinely use "normal ordering" of operators, which just amounts to shuffling all creation operators to the left. Potentially confusing, then, is the occurrence in the literature of normal-ordered…
We compute the correlation of analytic functions of general Gaussian fields in terms of multigraphs and Feynman diagrams on the lattice Z^d. Then, we connect its scaling limit to tensors of the correlation functionals of Fock space fields.…
In the paper we begin a description of functional methods of quantum field theory for systems of interacting q-particles. These particles obey exotic statistics and are the q-generalization of the colored particles which appear in many…
In this pedagogical note I present the operator form of Wick's theorem, i.e. a procedure to bring a product of 1-particle creation and destruction operators to normal order, with respect to some reference many-body state. Both the static…
We show that, under certain general assumptions, any sensible lattice Dirac operator satisfies a generalized form of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation (GWR). Those assumptions, on the other hand, are mostly dictated by large momentum behaviour…
Wick's theorem in the Schwinger-Perel-Keldysh closed-time-loop formalism is written in a form where the place of contractions is taken by the linear response function of the field. This result demonstrates that the physical information…
Wick's theorem for the expectation values of products of field operators for a system of noninteracting fermions or bosons plays an important role in the perturbative approach to the quantum many body problem. A finite temperature version…
Fermionic Gaussian states have garnered considerable attention due to their intriguing properties, most notably Wick's theorem. Expanding upon the work of Balian and Brezin, who generalized properties of fermionic Gaussian operators and…
Using a key observation due to Thiemann, a generalized Wick transform is introduced to map the constraint functionals of Riemannian general relativity to those of the Lorentzian theory, including matter sources. This opens up a new avenue…
