Berezin Integrals and Poisson Processes

Abstract

We show that the calculation of Berezin integrals over anticommuting variables can be reduced to the evaluation of expectations of functionals of Poisson processes via an appropriate Feynman-Kac formula. In this way the tools of ordinary analysis can be applied to Berezin integrals and, as an example, we prove a simple upper bound. Possible applications of our results are briefly mentioned.
