Abstract |
Since the pioneering work of Robledo [1], the Pfaffian has been
extensively studied in nuclear physics. With the use of the Grassmann
integrals, his work gives an excellent answer to the sign-problem in
the overlap between HFB wave functions (Onishi formula [2] proposed in
half a century ago). After Robledo's work, I have also studied some
extensions [3] and applications. Here I will talk about the following
topics:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Basics of Pfaffian and matrix elements of quantum many-body system
\item Pfaffian and sign-problem of Onishi formula
\begin{itemize}
\item Pfaffian formula for overlap of HFB wave functions
\item Origin of the sign-problem and liked cluster theorem
\end{itemize}
\item Pfaffian and Wick's theorem
\end{enumerate}
I will show some examples of Pfaffian in other fields of quantum
many-body physics.\\
