Functional Integration with an “Automorphic” Boundary Condition and Correlators of Third Components of Spins in the $XX$ Heisenberg Model

For the generating function of static correlators of the third components of spins in the $XX$ Heisenberg model, we derive a new representation given by a combination of Gaussian functional integrals over anticommuting variables. A peculiarity of the resulting functional integral is that a part of the integration variables depend on the imaginary time automorphically: these variables are multiplied by a certain complex number under the shift of the imaginary time by the period. The other variables satisfy the standard boundary conditions of the fermionic/bosonic type. Functional integration results are represented as determinants of matrix operators. We finally evaluate the generating function of correlators and the partition function of the model in the zeta-function regularization. The consistency of the suggested functional definition is confirmed by calculating several correlation functions of the third components of spins at a nonzero temperature.
