Bosonization of Interacting Fermions in Arbitrary Dimensionsby Peter Kopietz - arXiv
In this book we describe a new non-perturbative approach to the fermionic many-body problem, which can be considered as a generalization to arbitrary dimensions of the well-known bosonization technique for one-dimensional fermions.
