Abstract: In this talk I shall introduce the fermionic operators acting on the space of local operators for XXZ spin chain. This gives rise to a fermionic basis of the space of local operators. I shall explain that the expectation values of local operators in presence of "Matsubara time" are given by determinants in this fermionic basis.
