We present an application of the Grassmann algebra to the problem of the monomer-dimer statistics on a two-dimensional square lattice. The exact partition function, or total number of possible configurations, of a system of dimers with a…

We show that the continuum limit of one-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric matrix models can be described by a two-dimensional interacting field theory of a massless boson and two chiral fermions. We interpret this field theory as a…

A graph-theoretic method is introduced for analyzing fermion mass spectra in latticized theory-space models, including chain models arising from dimensional deconstruction. Fermion mass terms are mapped to bipartite graphs, with fields as…

Some spontaneously broken gauge theories with left couplings to fermions, like the abelian model that we propose here, can be endowed with a composite scalar sector and Wess-Zumino field ; their quantization in the functionnal integral…

In this paper, colorless bilocal fields are employed to study the large $N$ limit of both fermionic and bosonic vector models. The Jacobian associated with the change of variables from the original fields to the bilocals is computed…
