Abstract

In this paper, combinatorial aspects of normal ordering of arbitrary words in the creation and annihilation operators of the q-deformed boson are discussed. In particular, it is shown how, by introducing appropriate q-weights for the associated 'Feynman diagrams', the normally ordered form of a general expression in the creation and annihilation operators can be written as a sum over all q-weighted Feynman diagrams, representing Wick's theorem in the present context.
