Talk:Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation is an example of the method of auxiliary fields, but really should have a page of its own.

I plan to add one here in the not-too-distant future, with roughly the following contents:

Basic physical motivation
Path-integral formulation
Mathematical identity
Example: fermions with an attractive interaction
Discrete Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation
Hamiltonian formulation
Physical motivation
Equivalence to path-integral formulation
