The Zassenhaus formula goes like
et(X+Y)=etX etY e−t22[X,Y] et36(2[Y,[X,Y]]+[X,[X,Y]]) e−t424([[[X,Y],X],X]+3[[[X,Y],X],Y]+3[[[X,Y],Y],Y])⋯,
where
X and
Y are operators may not commute.
Do people know and derive the anti-commutator version of Zassenhaus formula that expresses in terms of anti-commutator {X,Y} in a very compact form?
I haven't found it on the literature (yet).
(1) Let us consider Grassmann-parity of X and Y are both even, so that X and Y both contain even number of fermionic operators f/f†, where
{fi,f†j}=δij
(2) What if X or Y contain an odd number of fermionic operators?
