We study -integral representations of the -gamma and the -beta functions. As an application of these integral representations, we obtain a simple conceptual proof of a family of identities for Jacobi triple product, including Jacobi's identity, and of Ramanujan's formula for the bilateral hypergeometric series.
We establish a super boson-fermion correspondence, generalizing the classical boson-fermion correspondence in 2-dimensional quantum field theory. A new feature of the theory is the essential non-commutativity of bosonic fields. The superbosonic fields obtained by the super bosonization procedure from super fermionic fields form the affine superalgebra . The converse, super fermionization procedure, requires introduction of the super vertex operators. As applications, we give vertex operator constructions...
