Symmetric Jordan-Wigner transformation in higher dimensions

The Jordan-Wigner transformation is traditionally applied to one dimensional systems, but recent works have generalized the transformation to fermionic lattice systems in higher dimensions while keeping locality manifest. These developments could aid the theoretical or even experimental studies of strongly correlated electronic problems through their bosonic counterparts. In this work, we develop a scheme for higher-dimensional Jordan-Wigner transformation which keeps all relevant symmetries manifest on the bosonic side. Our approach connects the discussion of exact lattice bosonization to the familiar notions of fractionalized partons like spinons and chargeons, and works for spin-$1/2$ fermions -- like the physical electrons -- on four-coordinated lattices. The construction is applied to fermions defined on the square, kagome and diamond lattices, and we provide explicit expressions for the bosonized versions of well-known models of strongly correlated electrons, like the Hubbard and $t$-$J$ models.
