theorem

ι(b)=0  ⟹  ι([a,b]sF)=0\iota(b) = 0 \implies \iota([a, b]_s^F) = 0

Let F\mathcal{F} be a field specification and AF\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} be the free associative algebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by the set of creation and annihilation operators F.CrAnFieldOp\mathcal{F}.\text{CrAnFieldOp}. Let ι:AF→F.WickAlgebra\iota: \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} \to \mathcal{F}.\text{WickAlgebra} be the canonical C\mathbb{C}-algebra homomorphism. For any elements a,b∈AFa, b \in \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}}, if the image of bb in the Wick algebra is zero (ι(b)=0\iota(b) = 0), then the image of the super-commutator [a,b]sF[a, b]_s^F in the Wick algebra is also zero: ι(b)=0  ⟹  ι([a,b]sF)=0\iota(b) = 0 \implies \iota([a, b]_s^F) = 0

theorem

ι(a)=0  ⟹  ι([a,b]sF)=0\iota(a) = 0 \implies \iota([a, b]_s^F) = 0

Let F\mathcal{F} be a field specification and AF\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} be the free associative algebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by the creation and annihilation operators F.CrAnFieldOp\mathcal{F}.\text{CrAnFieldOp}. Let ι:AF→F.WickAlgebra\iota : \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} \to \mathcal{F}.\text{WickAlgebra} be the canonical C\mathbb{C}-algebra homomorphism. For any elements a,b∈AFa, b \in \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}}, if ι(a)=0\iota(a) = 0, then the image of the super-commutator [a,b]sF[a, b]_s^F under ι\iota is also zero: ι(a)=0  ⟹  ι([a,b]sF)=0\iota(a) = 0 \implies \iota([a, b]_s^F) = 0

theorem

b∈span(fieldOpIdealSet)  ⟹  ι([a,b]sF)=0b \in \text{span}(\text{fieldOpIdealSet}) \implies \iota([a, b]_s^F) = 0

Let F\mathcal{F} be a field specification and AF\mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} be the free associative algebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by the creation and annihilation operators F.CrAnFieldOp\mathcal{F}.\text{CrAnFieldOp}. Let ι:AF→WickAlgebra(F)\iota : \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}} \to \text{WickAlgebra}(\mathcal{F}) be the canonical C\mathbb{C}-algebra homomorphism, and let II be the two-sided ideal generated by the set of field operator relations F.fieldOpIdealSet\mathcal{F}.\text{fieldOpIdealSet}. For any elements a,b∈AFa, b \in \mathcal{A}_{\mathcal{F}}, if bb belongs to the ideal II, then the image ι([a,b]sF)\iota([a, b]_s^F) of the super-commutator in the free algebra is zero.

theorem

b1≈b2  ⟹  ι([a,b1]sF)=ι([a,b2]sF)b_1 \approx b_2 \implies \iota([a, b_1]_s^F) = \iota([a, b_2]_s^F)

Let F\mathcal{F} be a field specification and F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} be the free associative algebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by the creation and annihilation operators.

For any elements a,b1,b2a, b_1, b_2 in the free algebra, if b1≈b2b_1 \approx b_2 (meaning b1−b2b_1 - b_2 belongs to the ideal defining the Wick algebra), then the images of their super-commutators under ι\iota are equal: ι([a,b1]sF)=ι([a,b2]sF)\iota([a, b_1]_s^F) = \iota([a, b_2]_s^F) where [⋅,⋅]sF[ \cdot, \cdot ]_s^F denotes the super-commutator in the free algebra.

definition

Right super-commutator map [a,⋅]s[a, \cdot]_s on the Wick algebra

For a given field specification F\mathcal{F} and an element a∈F.FieldOpFreeAlgebraa \in \mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra}, the map superCommuteRighta\text{superCommuteRight}_a is a C\mathbb{C}-linear map from the Wick algebra F.WickAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{WickAlgebra} to itself. It is defined by lifting the super-commutator in the free algebra to the quotient space. Specifically, for any element bb in the free algebra, the map acts on its equivalence class ⟦b⟧\llbracket b \rrbracket in the Wick algebra as: superCommuteRighta(⟦b⟧)=ι([a,b]sF) \text{superCommuteRight}_a(\llbracket b \rrbracket) = \iota([a, b]_s^F) where [a,b]sF[a, b]_s^F is the super-commutator in the free algebra and ι\iota is the canonical projection onto the Wick algebra.

theorem

superCommuteRighta(ι(b))=ι([a,b]sF)\text{superCommuteRight}_a(\iota(b)) = \iota([a, b]_s^F)

Let F\mathcal{F} be a field specification and F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} be the free associative algebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by creation and annihilation operators. Let ι:F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra→F.WickAlgebra\iota: \mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} \to \mathcal{F}.\text{WickAlgebra} be the canonical projection onto the Wick algebra. For any elements a,b∈F.FieldOpFreeAlgebraa, b \in \mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra}, the right super-commutator map superCommuteRighta\text{superCommuteRight}_a applied to the image ι(b)\iota(b) is equal to the image of the super-commutator in the free algebra, specifically superCommuteRighta(ι(b))=ι([a,b]sF)\text{superCommuteRight}_a(\iota(b)) = \iota([a, b]_s^F).

theorem

theorem

a1≈a2  ⟹  superCommuteRighta1=superCommuteRighta2a_1 \approx a_2 \implies \text{superCommuteRight}_{a_1} = \text{superCommuteRight}_{a_2}

Let F\mathcal{F} be a field specification and F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} be the free associative algebra over C\mathbb{C} generated by creation and annihilation operators. For any two elements a1,a2∈F.FieldOpFreeAlgebraa_1, a_2 \in \mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra}, if a1a_1 is equivalent to a2a_2 (a1≈a2a_1 \approx a_2) in the sense that their difference belongs to the field operator ideal, then the right super-commutator maps associated with a1a_1 and a2a_2 are equal: superCommuteRighta1=superCommuteRighta2\text{superCommuteRight}_{a_1} = \text{superCommuteRight}_{a_2}.

definition

Super-commutator [a,b]s[a, b]_s on the Wick algebra

For a given field specification F\mathcal{F}, the super-commutator superCommute\text{superCommute} is a C\mathbb{C}-bilinear map on the Wick algebra, denoted as [⋅,⋅]s:WickAlgebra F→ℓ[C]WickAlgebra F→ℓ[C]WickAlgebra F [\cdot, \cdot]_s : \text{WickAlgebra } \mathcal{F} \to_\ell[\mathbb{C}] \text{WickAlgebra } \mathcal{F} \to_\ell[\mathbb{C}] \text{WickAlgebra } \mathcal{F} defined by descending the super-commutator from the free algebra F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} to the quotient. For any two elements a,b∈WickAlgebra Fa, b \in \text{WickAlgebra } \mathcal{F}, the map satisfies the relation [a,b]s=a∗b−S(a,b)∙b∗a [a, b]_s = a * b - \mathcal{S}(a, b) \bullet b * a where S(a,b)\mathcal{S}(a, b) is the statistical factor determined by the grades of aa and bb. In particular, for lists of operators ϕs\phi_s and ϕs′\phi_s', the super-commutator captures the difference between their product and their graded-permuted product.

For a given field specification F\mathcal{F} and any two elements a,ba, b in the free algebra of field operators F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra}, the super-commutator of their images under the canonical projection ι:F.FieldOpFreeAlgebra→F.WickAlgebra\iota: \mathcal{F}.\text{FieldOpFreeAlgebra} \to \mathcal{F}.\text{WickAlgebra} is equal to the image of their super-commutator in the free algebra. That is, [ι(a),ι(b)]s=ι([a,b]sF) [\iota(a), \iota(b)]_s = \iota([a, b]_s^F) where [⋅,⋅]s[\cdot, \cdot]_s denotes the super-commutator on the Wick algebra and [⋅,⋅]sF[\cdot, \cdot]_s^F denotes the super-commutator on the free algebra.

Let V(ϕ)V(\phi) and V(ϕs′)V(\phi_s') denote their respective representatives in the Wick algebra F.WickAlgebra\mathcal{F}.\text{WickAlgebra}. The super-commutator [⋅,⋅]s[\cdot, \cdot]_s satisfies the following expansion: [V(ϕ),V(ϕs′)]s=∑n=0m−1S(σ(ϕ),σ(ϕs′[0…n−1]))⋅[V(ϕ),V(ϕn′)]s∗V(ϕs′∖{ϕn′}) [V(\phi), V(\phi_s')]_s = \sum_{n=0}^{m-1} \mathcal{S}(\sigma(\phi), \sigma(\phi_s'[0 \dots n-1])) \cdot [V(\phi), V(\phi_n')]_s * V(\phi_s' \setminus \{\phi_n'\}) where: - mm is the length of the list ϕs′\phi_s'. - ϕs′[0…n−1]\phi_s'[0 \dots n-1] denotes the prefix list of the first nn field operators in ϕs′\phi_s'. - V(ϕn′)V(\phi_n') is the nn-th field operator in the list interpreted in the Wick algebra. - V(ϕs′∖{ϕn′})V(\phi_s' \setminus \{\phi_n'\}) is the product of the field operators in the list ϕs′\phi_s' with the nn-th element removed. - σ(⋅)\sigma(\cdot) denotes the collective field statistic (bosonic or fermionic) of an operator or a list of operators. - S(⋅,⋅)\mathcal{S}(\cdot, \cdot) is the exchange sign factor, equal to −1-1 if both arguments are fermionic and 11 otherwise. - ⋅\cdot denotes scalar multiplication by the exchange sign, and ∗* denotes multiplication in the Wick algebra.
