Fermionic coherent-state trace
ID: fermionic-coherent-state-trace
The ordinary trace of an even fermionic operator requires in the bra of its fermionic coherent state kernel. In one mode the diagonal matrix elements give , whose Gaussian Berezin integral is . An untwisted bra gives , the supertrace. This distinction produces the antiperiodic coherent-state thermal boundary conditions.
