Abstract

We present an exact mapping of models of interacting fermions onto boson models. The bosons correspond to collective excitations in the initial fermionic models. This bosonization is applicable in any dimension and for any interaction between fermions. Introducing superfields, we derive a field theory that may serve as a new way of analytical study. We show schematically how the mapping can be used for Monte Carlo calculations and argue that it should be free from the sign problem.
