Quantum Brownian motion on a triangular lattice and Fermi-Bose equivalence: an application of boundary state formulation

초록

We discuss the Bose-Fermi equivalence in the quantum Brownian motion (QBM) on a triangular lattice, mapping the action for the QBM into a string theory action with a periodic boundary tachyon potential. We construct new Klein factors which are more appropriate than the conventional ones to deal with the quantum field theories defined on a two dimensioanl space-time with boundaries. Using the Fermi-Bose equivalence with the new Klein factors, we show that the model for the quantum Bownian motion on a triangular lattice is equivalent to the Thirring model with boundary terms, which are quadratic in fermion field operators, in the off-critical regions and to a SU(3) x SU(3) free fermion theory with quadratic boundary terms at the critical point.
