We review the classical boson-fermion correspondence in the context of the $\widehat{sl(2)}$ current algebra at level 2. This particular algebra is ideal to exhibit this correspondence because it can be realized either in terms of three…
Some ideas about phenomenological applications of quantum algebras to physics are reviewed. We examine in particular some applications of the algebras $U_ q (su_2)$ and $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ to various dynamical systems and to atomic and…
In this work we present symmetry transformations relating bosons to fermions which cannot be represented as a supersymmetric algebra. We present a symmetry transformation relating a complex scalar and a fermion in four dimensions and…
Composite bosons, here called {\it quasibosons} (e.g. mesons, excitons, etc.), occur in various physical situations. Quasibosons differ from bosons or fermions as their creation and annihilation operators obey non-standard commutation…
Quantum algebras U_q(su_n) used as the algebras of flavour symmetry (usually described by SU(n)) to study static properties of hadrons lead to intriguing results. In this contribution we focus on the peculiar properties manifested by…
A $\gamma$-deformed version of $su(2)$ algebra with non-hermitian generators has been obtained from a bi-orthogonal system of vectors in $\bf{C^2}$. The related Jordan-Schwinger(J-S) map is combined with boson algebras to obtain a hierarchy…
The quon algebra describes particles, ``quons,'' that are neither fermions nor bosons using a label q that parametrizes a smooth interpolation between bosons (q = +1) and fermions (q = -1). We derive ``conservation of statistics'' relations…
Qubits are neither fermions nor bosons. A Fock space description of qubits leads to a mapping from qubits to parafermions: particles with a hybrid boson-fermion quantum statistics. We study this mapping in detail, and use it to provide a…
Various classical counterparts for the two-level pairing model in a many-fermion system are presented in the Schwinger boson representation. It is shown that one of the key ingredients giving the classical descriptions for quantal system is…
Quantum link models (QLMs) are extensions of Wilson-type lattice gauge theories, and show rich physics beyond the phenomena of conventional Wilson gauge theories. Here we explore the physics of $U(1)$ symmetric QLMs, both using a more…
The purpose of this overview article, which can be viewed as a supplement to our previous review on quantum rings, [S. Viefers {\it et al}, Physica E {\bf 21} (2004), 1-35], is to highlight the differences of boson and fermion systems in…
Various applications of quantum algebraic techniques in nuclear structure physics, such as the su$_q$(2) rotator model and its extensions, the use of deformed bosons in the description of pairing correlations, and the construction of…
Basic idea presented in Parts (I)-(III) for the deformed boson scheme is applied to the case of the su(2)- and su(1,1)-algebras for describing many-body systems consisting of four kinds of boson operators. A possible form of the coherent…
Quantum mechanics of models is considered which are constructed in spaces with Lie algebra type commutation relations between spatial coordinates. The case is specialized to that of the group SU(2), for which the formulation of the problem…
One-dimensional quantum systems admit duality relations that put hard core spinless bosons and fermions in one-to-one correspondence via Girardeau's mapping theorem. The simplest models of soft bosons interacting via zero-range potentials…
We discuss the role that quantum group symmetries, in particular $SU_q(2)$, play in a thermodynamic system at high temperatures. We show that the interactions introduced by the quantum group symmetries, are such that a quantum group gas…
The concept of a quantum algebra is made easy through the investigation of the prototype algebras $u_{qp}(2)$, $su_q(2)$ and $u_{qp}(1,1)$. The latter quantum algebras are introduced as deformations of the corresponding Lie algebras~; this…
An algebraic approach is formulated in the harmonic approximation to describe a dynamics of two-fermion systems, confined in three-dimensional axially symmetric parabolic potential, in an external magnetic field. The fermion interaction is…
We introduce a concise quantum operator formula for bosonization in which the Lie group structure appears in a natural way. The connection between fermions and bosons is found to be exactly the connection between Lie group elements and the…
Coherent states on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ are defined by using harmonic analysis and representation theory of the algebra of functions on the quantum group. Semiclassical limit $q\rightarrow 1$ is discussed and the crucial role of…
