# Remark to ”On the Description of Fermion Systems in Boson Representations”

## Abstract

The formulae of boson powers commutation relation used by B. Sorensen \[Nucl. Phys. A 119 (No 1) (1968), 65\] in his calculations is erroneous. We provide the correct formulae.

In the paper of B. Sorensen ”On the Description of Fermion Systems in Boson Representations”  one can find for bosons powers commutation relations the formula (2.5 page 66)

$$[a^n,(a^{})^m]=\{\begin{array}{c}\underset{l=0}{\overset{n1}{}}\frac{(l+1)m!}{(mn+l)!}(a^{})^{mn+l}a^l\text{ for }nm\\ \\ \underset{l=0}{\overset{m1}{}}\frac{(l+1)n!}{(nm+l)!}(a^{})^la^{nm+l}\text{ for }nm\end{array}$$
(1)   
where $`a`$and$`a^{}`$ are the annihilation and creation boson operators.

Dealing with this formula we observed that it is erroneous. Let us for example compare the straitforwardly calculated results

$$[a^4,(a^{})^4]=24+96a^{}a+72a^2a^2+16a^3a^3$$
(2)   
with the corresponding results that gives formula (1) for $`n=m=4:`$

$$[a^4,(a^{})^4]=24+48a^{}a+36a^2a^2+16a^3a^3;$$
(3)   
In this remark, starting with the identity:

$$[A,B^n]=\underset{k=0}{\overset{n1}{}}B^k[A,B]B^{nk1}$$
(4)   
and putting the operators $`Aa;Ba^{}`$and then using the induction method, or directly applying the Leibnitz relations :

$$\begin{array}{c}\frac{d^n}{dx^n}(x^nf)=\underset{l=0}{\overset{n}{}}\left(\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{n}{l}\right)\left(\frac{d^{nl}}{dx^{nl}}x^n\right)\left(\frac{d^l}{dx^l}f\right)\hfill \\ \text{with}a\frac{d}{dx}\text{and}a^{}x\hfill \end{array}$$
(5)   
we had derived the right expressions for the boson powers commutation relation:

$$[a^n,(a^{})^m]=\{\begin{array}{c}\underset{l=0}{\overset{n1}{}}\frac{m!}{(mn+l)!}\left(\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{n}{l}\right)(a^{})^{mn+l}a^l\text{ for}nm\\ \\ \underset{l=0}{\overset{m1}{}}\frac{n!}{(nm+l)!}\left(\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{m}{l}\right)(a^{})^la^{nm+l}\text{ for}nm\end{array}$$
(6)   
Where $`\left(\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{n}{l}\right)`$are the Binomial coefficients.
