Fermionic-type character formulae are presented for charged irreduciblemodules of the graded parafermionic conformal field theory associated to the coset $osp(1,2)_k/u(1)$. This is obtained by counting the weakly ordered `partitions'…
We present a method for symbolic calculation of Feynman amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this approach fermion strings in a specific amplitude can be easily evaluated and expressed as basic Lorentz…

We use the Whittaker vectors and the Drinfeld Casimir element to show that eigenfunctions of the difference Toda Hamiltonian can be expressed via fermionic formulas. Motivated by the combinatorics of the fermionic formulas we use the…
We derive the fermion loop formulation for the supersymmetric nonlinear O$(N)$ sigma model by performing a hopping expansion using Wilson fermions. In this formulation the fermionic contribution to the partition function becomes a sum over…
A periodic linear graph operator acts on states (functions) defined on the vertices of a graph equipped with a free translation action. Fourier transform with respect to the translation group reveals the central spectral objects, Bloch and…
This paper is the first in the series devoted to evaluation of the partition function in statistical models on graphs with loops in terms of the Berezin/fermion integrals. The paper focuses on a representation of the determinant of a square…

Problems in lattice gauge models with fermions are discussed. A new bosonic Hermitean effective action for lattice QCD with dynamical quarks is presented. In distinction of the previous version, it does not include constraints and is better…
Based on operator algebras commonly used in quantum mechanics some properties of special functions such as Hermite and Laguerre polynomials and Bessel functions are derived.
We formulate lattice fermions in a way that encompasses Wilson fermions as well as the static and non-relativistic approximations. In particular, we treat $m_qa$ systematically ($m_q$ is the fermion mass) showing how to understand the…
The introduction of operator states and of observables in various fields of quantum physics has raised questions about the mathematical structures of the corresponding spaces. In the framework of third quantization it had been conjectured…
We construct a stationary density functional for the partition function from a chosen set of one (boson) line irreducible Feynman diagrams. The construction does not proceed by the inversion of a Legendre transform. It is formulated for…
We present a general formalism for simplifying manipulations of spin indices of massless and massive spinors and vectors in Feynman diagrams. The formalism is based on covariantly reducing the number of field components in the action in…
Lattice QCD should allow a derivation of the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule from first principles, but numerical calculations to date have been plagued by a variety of problems. After a brief review of these problems, we present several new methods…
We show that the computational effort for the numerical solution of fermionic quantum systems, occurring e.g., in quantum chemistry, solid state physics, field theory in principle grows with less than the square of the particle number for…
A bosonic operator of U_q(osp(1|2)) that anticommutes with the fermionic generators appears to be useful to describe the relations in the centre of U_q(osp(1|2)) for q a root of unity (in the unrestricted specialisation). As in the…
A quasi-Hermitian operator is an operator that is similar to its adjoint in some sense, via a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. Whereas those metric operators are in general assumed to be bounded, we analyze…
