Deformed Heisenberg Algebra with Reflection, Anyons and Supersymmetry of Parabosons

Deformed Heisenberg algebra with reflection appeared in the context of Wigner's generalized quantization schemes underlying the concept of parafields and parastatistics of Green, Volkov, Greenberg and Messiah. We review the application of this algebra for the universal description of ordinary spin-$j$ and anyon fields in 2+1 dimensions, and discuss the intimate relation between parastatistics and supersymmetry.Comment: 4 pages.

Deformed Heisenberg algebra, fractional spin fields and supersymmetry without fermions

Within a group-theoretical approach to the description of (2+1)-dimensional anyons, the minimal covariant set of linear differential equations is constructed for the fractional spin fields with the help of the deformed Heisenberg algebra (DHA), $[a^{-},a^{+}]=1+\nu K$, involving the Klein operator $K$, $\{K,a^{\pm}\}=0$, $K^{2}=1$. The connection of the minimal set of equations with the earlier proposed `universal' vector set of anyon equations is established. On the basis of this algebra, a bosonization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics is carried out. The construction comprises the cases of exact and spontaneously broken $N=2$ supersymmetry allowing us to realize a Bose-Fermi transformation and spin-1/2 representation of SU(2) group in terms of one bosonic oscillator. The construction admits an extension to the case of OSp(2$\vert$2) supersymmetry, and, as a consequence, both applications of the DHA turn out to be related. A possibility of `superimposing' the two applications of the DHA for constructing a supersymmetric (2+1)-dimensional anyon system is discussed. As a consequential result we point out that $osp(2|2)$ superalgebra is realizable as an operator algebra for a quantum mechanical 2-body (nonsupersymmetric) Calogero model.Comment: 21 pages, LaTe
