Submodule of operators with statistic ff

#statisticSubmodule

For a given field specification F\mathcal{F} and a statistic f{bosonic,fermionic}f \in \{\text{bosonic}, \text{fermionic}\}, the `statisticSubmodule f` is the C\mathbb{C}-linear submodule of the free algebra F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} spanned by the set of all operator products ϕ1ϕ2ϕn\phi_1 \phi_2 \dots \phi_n whose collective statistic is equal to ff. The collective statistic of a product is determined by the parity of fermionic operators in the sequence: it is fermionic\text{fermionic} if the number of fermionic operators is odd, and bosonic\text{bosonic} otherwise.

theorem

If the collective statistic of the list φs\varphi_s (which is fermionic if there are an odd number of fermionic operators in the list and bosonic otherwise) is equal to f{bosonic,fermionic}f \in \{\text{bosonic}, \text{fermionic}\}, then the product of these operators i=1nϕi\prod_{i=1}^n \phi_i (represented as ofCrAnListF(φs)\text{ofCrAnListF}(\varphi_s)) is an element of the C\mathbb{C}-linear submodule statisticSubmodule(f)\text{statisticSubmodule}(f) of the free algebra F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra}.

The map bosonicProjF\text{bosonicProjF} is a C\mathbb{C}-linear projection from AF\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} onto its bosonic submodule. It is defined on the basis of operator products such that for any monomial b=ϕ1ϕ2ϕnb = \phi_1 \phi_2 \dots \phi_n (where each ϕiF.CrAnFieldOp\phi_i \in \mathcal{F}.\text{CrAnFieldOp}): bosonicProjF(b)={bif the collective statistic of [ϕ1,,ϕn] is bosonic0otherwise \text{bosonicProjF}(b) = \begin{cases} b & \text{if the collective statistic of } [\phi_1, \dots, \phi_n] \text{ is bosonic} \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} The collective statistic is bosonic if the number of operators in the product with fermionic statistics is even, and fermionic otherwise.

Specifically, this grading structure satisfies: - The identity element 11 is contained in the bosonic submodule VbosonicV_{\text{bosonic}}. - For any statistics s1,s2s_1, s_2, the product of elements from Vs1V_{s_1} and Vs2V_{s_2} lies in Vs1+s2V_{s_1 + s_2}, where the addition of statistics follows Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 parity rules (e.g., fermionic+fermionic=bosonic\text{fermionic} + \text{fermionic} = \text{bosonic}). - The algebra is the direct sum of its bosonic and fermionic components: F.FieldOpFreeAlgebraVbosonicVfermionic\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} \cong V_{\text{bosonic}} \oplus V_{\text{fermionic}}.

This algebra is Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-graded by field statistics, with submodules VbosonicV_{\text{bosonic}} (even parity) and VfermionicV_{\text{fermionic}} (odd parity). Let PbosonicP_{\text{bosonic}} and PfermionicP_{\text{fermionic}} denote the C\mathbb{C}-linear projections from AF\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} onto these respective submodules. For any two operators a,bAFa, b \in \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}}, the bosonic component of their product is given by the sum of the products of their corresponding statistics: Pbosonic(ab)=Pbosonic(a)Pbosonic(b)+Pfermionic(a)Pfermionic(b)P_{\text{bosonic}}(a \cdot b) = P_{\text{bosonic}}(a) \cdot P_{\text{bosonic}}(b) + P_{\text{fermionic}}(a) \cdot P_{\text{fermionic}}(b) This identity reflects the parity rule that a product of two operators is bosonic if both operators are bosonic or if both operators are fermionic.
