Bosonization

Bosonization

In theoretical physics, one often studies two-dimensional conformal field theory. It has many very special properties. One of them is the equivalence of fermionic elementary fields and bosonic elementary fields. Bosonization also appears in 2D theories which aren't conformal field theories.

The process of going from a fermionic basis to a bosonic basis is called bosonization. Two complex fermions psi,arpsi are written as functions of a boson phi:psi = :exp(iphi):,qquad arpsi = :exp(-iphi): [In actuality, there is a cocycle prefactor to give correct (anti-)commutation relations with other fields under consideration.] while the inverse map is given by:partialphi=:psiarpsi:All equations are normal-ordered. The changed statistics arises from anomalous dimensions of the fields.
