Fermionic behavior of ideal anyons

We prove upper and lower bounds on the ground-state energy of the ideal two-dimensional anyon gas. Our bounds are extensive in the particle number, as for fermions, and linear in the statistics parameter $\alpha$. The lower bounds extend to Lieb-Thirring inequalities for all anyons except bosons.Comment: 16 page

Local exclusion and Lieb-Thirring inequalities for intermediate and fractional statistics

In one and two spatial dimensions there is a logical possibility for identical quantum particles different from bosons and fermions, obeying intermediate or fractional (anyon) statistics. We consider applications of a recent Lieb-Thirring inequality for anyons in two dimensions, and derive new Lieb-Thirring inequalities for intermediate statistics in one dimension with implications for models of Lieb-Liniger and Calogero-Sutherland type. These inequalities follow from a local form of the exclusion principle valid for such generalized exchange statistics.Comment: Revised and accepted version. 49 pages, 2 figure

Spin(9) Average of SU(N) Matrix Models I. Hamiltonian

We apply a method of group averaging to states and operators appearing in (truncations of) the Spin(9) x SU(N) invariant matrix models. We find that there is an exact correspondence between the standard supersymmetric Hamiltonian and the Spin(9) average of a relatively simple lower-dimensional model.Comment: 11 page

Properties of 2D anyon gas

An overview is given of the 2D many-anyon gas, including its definition (both for ideal and certain less-than-ideal particles, as well as for abelian and nonabelian braid group representations), its corresponding known properties starting out from the intricate relationship between exchange and exclusion, as well as its emergence from bosons and/or fermions in 3D.Comment: Invited contribution to the Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics, 2nd edition.
