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…
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…
Wick's theorem provides a connection between time ordered products of bosonic or fermionic fields, and their normal ordered counterparts. We consider a generic pair of operator orderings and we prove, by induction, the theorem that relates…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 propose an extension of a result by Repetowicz et al. about Wick's theorem and its applications: we first show that Wick's theorem can be extended to the uniform distribution on the sphere and then to the whole class of elliptical…
In this work we present a number of generalizations of Wick's theorems on integrals with Gaussian weight to a larger class of weights which we call subgaussian. Examples of subgaussian contractions are that of Kac-Moody or Virasoro type,…
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…
It is proved recently by Benamara-Nikolski that a contraction having finite defects and spectrum not filling in the closed unit disc, is similar to a normal operator if and only if it has the so-called linear resolvent growth property. We…
In a soliton sector of a quantum field theory, it is often convenient to expand the quantum fields in terms of normal modes. Normal mode creation and annihilation operators can be normal ordered, and their normal ordered products have…
A simple proof is provided to show that any bounded normal operator on a real Hilbert space is orthogonally equivalent to its transpose(adjoint). A structure theorem for invertible skew-symmetric operators, which is analogous to the finite…
We study the commutation relations and normal ordering between families of operators on symmetric functions. These operators can be naturally defined by the operations of multiplication, Kronecker product, and their adjoints. As…
We derive a generalized Stokes' theorem, valid in any dimension and for arbitrary loops, even if self intersecting or knotted. The generalized theorem does not involve an auxiliary surface, but inherits a higher rank gauge symmetry from the…
In this paper we prove that Dirac operators on non-compact complete orbifolds which are sufficiently regular at infinity, admit a unique extension. Additonally, we prove a generalized orbifold Stokes'/Divergence theorem.
Matrix elements between nonorthogonal Slater determinants represent an essential component of many emerging electronic structure methods. However, evaluating nonorthogonal matrix elements is conceptually and computationally harder then…
In the first part of this thesis we study the generalization of the recent algebraic approach to classical field theory by proposing a more general setting based on the manifold of smooth sections of a non-trivial fiber bundle. Central is…
