内容提要:

We propose a new framework based on the concept of semigroup to understand the fermion sign problem. By using properties of contraction semigroups, we obtain new sufficient conditions for quantum lattice fermion models to be sign-problem-free. By relating these two class of sign-problem-free models to Majorana reflection positivity and time-reversal positivity respectively, we can immediately have a Perron-Frobenius type theorem, which generalizes previous results by E. H. Lieb.
