Two-Dimensional Bosonization from Variable Shifts in the Path Integral
arXiv:hep-th/9810238 · doi:10.1142/S021773239900078X
Abstract
A method to perform bosonization of a fermionic theory in (1+1) dimensions in a path integral framework is developed. The method relies exclusively on the path integral property of allowing variable shifts, and does not depend on the explicit form of Greens functions. Two examples, the Schwinger model and the massless Thirring model, are worked out.
