Berezin integration of functions of anticommuting Grassmann variables is usually seen as a formal operation, sometimes even defined via differentiation. Using the formalism of geometric algebra and geometric calculus in which the Grassmann…
The development of Noncommutative Geometry is creating a reworking and new possibilities in physics. This paper identifies some of the commutation and derivation structures that arise in particle and field interactions and fundamental…
In this paper, we present a formulation of the classical theory of Fermionic (anticommuting) fields, which fits into the general framework proposed by K.Fredenhagen, M.Duetsch and R.Brunetti. It was inspired by the recent developments in…
A carefully motivated symmetric variant of the Poisson bracket in ordinary (not Grassmann) phase space variables is shown to satisfy identities which are in algebraic correspondence with the anticommutation postulates for quantized Fermion…
We show that the calculation of Berezin integrals over anticommuting variables can be reduced to the evaluation of expectations of functionals of Poisson processes via an appropriate Feynman-Kac formula. In this way the tools of ordinary…
The quantization of systems with first- and second-class constraints within the coherent-state path-integral approach is extended to quantum systems with fermionic degrees of freedom. As in the bosonic case the importance of path-integral…
We review applications of noncommutative geometry in canonical quantum gravity. First, we show that the framework of loop quantum gravity includes natural noncommutative structures which have, hitherto, not been explored. Next, we present…
A link between canonical quantum gravity and fermionic quantum field theory is established in this paper. From a spectral triple construction which encodes the kinematics of quantum gravity semi-classical states are constructed which, in a…
A new approach to bosonization in relativistic field theories and many-body systems, based on the use of fermionic composites as integration variables in the Berezin integral defining the partition function of the system, is tested. The…
We study expectation values of observables in three-dimensional spinfoam quantum gravity coupled to Dirac fermions. We revisit the model introduced by one of the authors and extend it to the case of massless fermionic fields. We introduce…
We present an approach to Berezin quantization (a variant of quantization in the spirit of Berezin) on para-Hermitian symmetric spaces using the notion of an "overgroup". This approach gives covariant and contravariant symbols and the…
A simple, combinatorial construction of the sl(n)-WZNW fusion ring, also known as Verlinde algebra, is given. As a byproduct of the construction one obtains an isomorphism between the fusion ring and a particular quotient of the small…
We put forward several information-theoretic measures for analyzing the uncertainty of fermionic phase-space distributions using the theory of supernumbers. In contrast to the bosonic case, the anticommuting nature of Grassmann variables…
The two-dimensional one-component logarithmic Coulomb gas is mapped onto a non-hermitian fermionic field theory. At $\beta=2$, the field theory is free. Correlation functions are calculated and a perturbation theory is discussed for…
This is a review paper concerned with the global consistency of the quantum dynamics of non-commutative systems. Our point of departure is the theory of constrained systems, since it provides a unified description of the classical and…
We investigate the Berezin integral of non-compactly supported quantities. In the framework of supermanifolds with corners, we give a general, explicit and coordinate-free repesentation of the boundary terms introduced by an arbitrary…
In quantum field theory, the algebraic existence of a field does not guarantee the existence of a corresponding localized asymptotic particle state. This distinction is well established in the presence of infrared effects, long-range…
We define the $\frac{\mathbb{Z}}{2}$-graded meromorphic open-string vertex algebra that is an appropriate noncommutative generalization of the vertex operator superalgebra. We also illustrate an example that can be viewed as a…
A renormalization scheme for interacting fermionic systems is presented where the renormalization is carried out in terms of the fermionic degrees of freedom. The scheme is based on continuous unitary transformations of the hamiltonian…
A free quantum field theory with Lorentz symmetry is derived for spin-half symplectic fermions in 2+1 dimensions. In particular, we show that fermionic spin-half fields may be canonically quantized in a free theory with a Klein-Gordon…
