Abstract
We extend the previous results of exact bosonization, mapping from fermionic operators to Pauli matrices, in 2D and 3D to arbitrary dimensions. This bosonization map gives a duality between any fermionic system in arbitrary n spatial dimensions and a class of (n−1)-form Z₂ gauge theories in n dimensions with a modified Gauss's law. This map preserves locality and has an explicit dependence on the second Stiefel-Whitney class and a choice of spin structure on the spatial manifold. A formula for Stiefel-Whitney homology classes on lattices is derived. In the Euclidean path integral, this exact bosonization map is equivalent to introducing a topological Steenrod square term to the space-time action.
