In [1] a new bosonization procedure has been illustrated, which allows to express a fermionic gaussian system in terms of commuting variables at the price of introducing an extra dimension. The Fermi-Bose duality principle established in…

We derive the quantum Boltzmann equation (QBE) of composite fermions at/near the $\nu = 1/2$ state using the non-equilibrium Green's function technique. The lowest order perturbative correction to the self-energy due to the strong gauge…
Entanglement is analyzed in the Majorana fermion conformal field theory (CFT) in the vacuum, in the fermion state, and in states built from conformal interfaces. In the boundary-state approach, the Hilbert space admits two factorizations…
In this note we give a BRST interpretation of inner product of group averaging on de Sitter group SO(2,1). Quantization approaches can be divided in two classes, without introducing additional degrees of freedom and with introducing ghosts,…
The method of the BRST quantization is considered for the system of constraints, which form a Lie algebra. When some of the Cartan generators do not imply any conditions on the physical states, the system contains the first and the second…
