  Identical particles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Calculations in statistical mechanics rely on probabilistic arguments, which are sensitive to whether or not the objects being studied are identical.
Experimental evidence for the existence of anyons exists in the fractional quantum Hall effect, a phenomenon observed in the two-dimensional electron gases that form the inversion layer of MOSFETs.
There is another type of statistic, known as braid statistics, which are associated with particles known as plektons.

 FRACTIONAL STATISTICS AND ANYON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY
The occurrence of fractional statistics has been discovered in more and more quantum field theory models, including some of the most geometrical and canonical ones.
In a remarkable case, the fractional quantum statistics of quasiparticles in the fractional quantized Hall effect (FQHE) contributes to the understanding of states found there.
Perhaps most exciting, although quite speculative at this moment, are recent attempts to apply fractional statistics to spin systems, and specifically to the behaviour of the 2-dimensional copper oxide layers that seem to be critical to the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity.

 Fractional Statistics
By requiring that the configuration space of identical particles be invariant under the interchange of identical particles, it is possible to determine the allowed statistics of particles essentially from an ad-hoc exclusion principle.
It is not implausible, therefore, that rotational (angular momentum) eigenfunctions play a role in determining the statistics of identical particles.
As was mentioned in the previous chapter, angular harmonics on the circle are not restricted to the definite even/odd parity of the spherical harmonics, giving only Bose and Fermi statistics (this follows from the doubly connectedness of the projective space): they have arbitrary parity due to the infinite connectedness of the circle.

 Fractional Statistics and Quantum Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In the last two decades it has been realized that that whereas in three and higher space dimensions all particles must obey either bose or fermi statistics, in two space dimensions the particles can have any fractional spin and can satisfy any fractional statistics which is interpolating between the two.
The particles obeying such statistics are generically called anyons and are said to obey anyonic fractional statistics.
In a recent paper, we made use of the fractional exclusion statistics (FES), a la Haldane, in the context of a trapped two-dimensional interacting bose gas.

 Fractional Statistics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The word ‘statistics’ was introduced in this context because some experimental observations were first understood in terms of certain combinatorial rules which identical particles seemed to follow for filling up the various quantum states available to them.
Nevertheless, many physicists have wondered whether other kinds of statistics are possible on mathematical grounds, and whether some of them may be realizable (even if in a limited or approximate sense) in experimental systems.
Whether or not anyons are eventually found to play a role in the fractional quantum Hall effect, the theoretical developments in anyonic physics have led to some general concepts which have found uses in many different areas of physics and mathematics.

 ITFA - Integrability in Statistical Mechanics and Condensed Matter
In recent years it has become clear that many of the quasi-particles essential in the description of condensed matter and statistical systems obey statistical rules that are incompatible with those of either bosons or fermions.
Interestingly, fractional statistics is not only of importance in the quasi-particle description physical systems, but has many deep connections with problems in combinatorics and number theory.
Some intriguing questions that seem tractable using the quasi-particle picture are that of finding higher-rank as well a fractional level Bailey lemma's, proving positivity problems related to ribbon tableaux and partition with ``fractional'' hook-differences (the Borwein conjectures) and the proof of various lattice-path results related to plane partitions.

Description: Abstract: In early 1980's, fractional statistics was believed to be central to the understanding of the fractional quantum Hall effect.
However, subsequent developments demonstrated that the phenomenology is explainable in terms of composite fermions, without any mention of fractional statistics.
I will talk about how the fractional statistics appears in the composite fermion theory, and how this theory resolves certain puzzling theoretical results in this context.

 F. Duncan M. Haldane: Research Description
Fractional Statistics: A few years ago, studies of integrable models (below) led me to formulate a description of fractional statistics based on a generalized Pauli exclusion principle, now called "exclusion statistics"; this is closely related to the "anyon" formulation.
These models may be thought of as describing an "ideal gas with fractional statistics".

 [No title]
Stefan Mashkevich (Schrodinger, Inc.) The topology of two-dimensional space implies the possibility of existence of a so-called fractional statistics, which interpolates continuously between the Bose and Fermi limits.
Particles obeying such statistics, called anyons, do effectively exist in nature: an example is the elementary excitations in the fractional quantum Hall effect.
Then, the statistical mechanics with fractional statistics will be addressed; it will be shown how the virial expansion interpolates between those of bosons and fermions, and some observations made on the low-temperature behavior.

Spinons, Holons, fractional statistics, and confinement in t-J ladders
The ground state of the two-dimensional t-J model at appropriate hole dopings is proposed to be a novel kind of spin liquid, which I call chirality liquid.
The liquid may be viewed as a significant generalization of the chiral spin liquid, which is a liquid in the spin degrees of freedom but effectively aligns the non-relativistic plaquet chiralities and hence breaks the discrete symmetries P and T. These symmetries are preserved in the chirality liquid.

 Fractional statistics: alpha to beta
We review the problem of fractional statistics as it applies to two current areas of interest in condensed-matter physics: the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), and high-temperature superconductors (HTSC).
In the case of the former, we emphasize Haldane's recent definition (1991) of a fractional exclusion principle, and show a relation between this idea and the standard definition of fractional statistics in terms of a complex exchange phase.
We show that a fractional exclusion principle is both appropriate and useful for the quasiparticles in the FQHE.

The XXX spin chain with long range interaction is a variant of the spin half Heisenberg chain, with exchange inversely proportional to the square distance between the spins.
It possesses the remarkable properties that its spectrum is additive and that the elementary excitations are spin half objects obeying a half-fractional statistics intermediate between bosons and fermions.
The model is gapless; its low energy properties belong to the same universality class as the Heisenberg model, and are described by the level one su(2) WZW conformal field theory.

The low energy excitations of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquids carry fractional quantum numbers such as charge and statistics.
In this talk, I will show in detail how the mesurement of shot noise can generally be used as a powerful tool to study the nature of the fractionally charged FQH quasiparticles.
Recently, this tool has been succesfully used in the first transport observations of fractional charge by two experimental groups, one in Saclay and the other at the Weizmann Institute.

In Wilczek's model, fractional statistics are realized in particles called `anyons' which are `flux tube' composite objects: that is, particles bound to a thin string of flux.

These are the phase changes incurred by exchanging the particles.
