Abstract
An exact expression for the Green function of a purely fermionic system moving on the manifold , where is a -torus, is found. This expression involves the bosonic analog of corresponding to the irreducible representation for the n-th class of homotopy and in the fermionic case for D=2 and 3, is a measure of the statistics of the particles. For higher dimensions (), there is no analogue interpretation however this could, presumably, indicate a generation of mass as in quantum field theories at finite temperature.
