Grassmann number
In mathematical physics, a Grassmann number, named after Hermann Grassmann, (also called an anticommuting number or anticommuting c-number) is a mathematical construction which allows a path integral representation for Fermionic fields. A collection of Grassmann variables \theta_i are independent elements of an algebra which contains the real numbers that anticommute with each other but commute with ordinary numbers x:
: \theta_i \theta_j = -\theta_j \theta_i\qquad\theta_i x = x \theta_i.
In particular, the squares of the generators vanish:
: (\theta_i)^2 = 0,\, since \theta_i \theta_i = -\theta_i \theta_i.
In other words, a Grassmann number is a non-zero square-root of zero.
In order to reproduce the path integral for a Fermi field, the definition of Grassmann integration needs to have the following properties:
* linearity
:: \int\,(f(\theta) + b g(\theta) )\, d\theta = a \int\,f(\theta)\, d\theta + b \int\,g(\theta)\, d\theta
* partial integration formula
:: \int \left()\, d\theta = 0.
This results in the following rules for the integration of a Grassmann quantity:
:: \int\, 1\, d\theta = 0
:: \int\, \theta\, d\theta = 1.
Thus we conclude that the operations of integration and differentiation of a Grassmann number are identical.
In the path integral formulation of quantum field theory the following Gaussian integral of Grassmann quantities is needed for fermionic anticommuting fields:
: \int \exp\left() \,d\theta\,d\eta = \det A
with ''A'' being an ''N'' × ''N'' matrix.
The algebra generated by a set of Grassmann numbers is known as a Grassmann algebra. The Grassmann algebra generated by ''n'' linearly independent Grassmann numbers has dimension 2''n''.
Grassmann algebras are the prototypical examples of supercommutative algebras. These are algebras with a decomposition into even and odd variables which satisfy a graded version of commutativity (in particular, odd elements anticommute).
==Exterior algebra ==

The Grassmann algebra is the exterior algebra of the vector space spanned
by the generators. The exterior algebra is defined independent of a choice of basis.
