Abstract

We derive a formalism to express the spin algebra su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2) in a spin ss representation in terms of the algebra of LL fermionic operators that obey the Canonical Anti-commutation Relations. We also give the reverse direction of expressing the fermionic operators as polynomials in the spin operators of a single spin. We extend here to further spin values the previous investigations by Dobrov [J.Phys.A: Math. Gen 36 L503, (2003)] who in turn clarified on an inconsistency within a similar formalism in the works of Batista and Ortiz [Phys.\ Rev.\ Lett. 86, 1082 (2001)]. We then consider a system of LL fermion flavors and apply our mapping in order to express it in terms of the spin algebra. Furthermore we investigate a possibility to simplify certain Hamiltonian operators by means of the mapping.
