Berezin Integral - Change of Even and Odd Variables

Change of Even and Odd Variables

Let a coordinate transformation be given by, where are even and are odd polynomials of depending on even variables The Jacobian matrix of this transformation has the block form:

\mathrm{J}=\frac{\partial\left( x,\theta\right) }{\partial\left(y,\xi\right) }=\left(\begin{array}{cc} A & B\\ C & D\end{array}\right) ,

where each even derivative commutes with all elements of the algebra ; the odd derivatives commute with even elements and anticommute with odd elements. The entries of the diagonal blocks and are even and the entries of the offdiagonal blocks are odd functions, where mean right derivatives. The Berezinian (or the superdeterminant) of the matrix is the even function

defined when the function is invertible in Suppose that the real functions define a smooth invertible map of open sets in and the linear part of the map is invertible for each The general transformation law for the Berezin integral reads

\int_{\Lambda^{m\mid n}}f\left( x,\theta\right) \mathrm{d}\theta\mathrm{d}x=\int_{\Lambda^{m\mid n}}f\left( x\left( y,\xi\right) ,\theta\left( y,\xi\right) \right) \varepsilon\mathrm{Ber~J~d}\xi\mathrm{d}y

where is the sign of the orientation of the map The superposition is defined in the obvious way, if the functions do not depend on In the general case, we write where are even nilpotent elements of and set

where the Taylor series is finite.

Famous quotes containing the words change, odd and/or variables:

    “It’s pretty hard to change once you’ve burned away your youth and your illusions.”
    —John Farrow. Captain (John Wayne)

    “It is an odd jealousy: but the poet finds himself not near enough to his object. The pine-tree, the river, the bank of flowers before him, does not seem to be nature. Nature is still elsewhere.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
