Fractal von Neumann entropy

We consider the {\it fractal von Neumann entropy} associated with the {\it fractal distribution function} and we obtain for some {\it universal classes h of fractons} their entropies. We obtain also for each of these classes a {\it fractal-deformed Heisenberg algebra}. This one takes into account the braid group structure of these objects which live in two-dimensional multiply connected space.Comment: latex, 9 pages, typos correcte

Fractal index, central charge and fractons

We introduce the notion of fractal index associated with the universal class $h$ of particles or quasiparticles, termed fractons, which obey specific fractal statistics. A connection between fractons and conformal field theory(CFT)-quasiparticles is established taking into account the central charge $c[\nu]$ and the particle-hole duality $\nu\longleftrightarrow\frac{1}{\nu}$, for integer-value $\nu$ of the statistical parameter. In this way, we derive the Fermi velocity in terms of the central charge as $v\sim\frac{c[\nu]}{\nu+1}$. The Hausdorff dimension $h$ which labelled the universal classes of particles and the conformal anomaly are therefore related. Following another route, we also established a connection between Rogers dilogarithm function, Farey series of rational numbers and the Hausdorff dimension.Comment: latex, 12 pages, To appear in Mod.

A quantum-geometrical description of fracton statistics

We consider the fractal characteristic of the quantum mechanical paths and we obtain for any universal class of fractons labeled by the Hausdorff dimension defined within the interval 1$$$<$$$$h$$$$<$$$$2$, a fractal distribution function associated with a fractal von Neumann entropy. Fractons are charge-flux systems defined in two-dimensional multiply connected space and they carry rational or irrational values of spin. This formulation can be considered in the context of the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE and number theory.Comment: Typos corrected, latex, 8 pages, Talk given at the 2nd International Londrina Winter School: Mathematical Methods in Physics, August, 26-30 (2002), Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Paran\'a, Brazil.
