We consider the many-particle quantum mechanics of anyons, i.e. identical particles in two space dimensions with a continuous statistics parameter α ∈ [0, 1] ranging from bosons (α = 0) to fermions (α = 1). We prove a (magnetic) Hardy inequality for anyons, which in the case that α is an odd numerator fraction implies a local exclusion principle for the kinetic energy of such anyons. From this result, and motivated by Dyson and Lenard's original approach to the stability of fermionic matter in three dimensions, we prove a Lieb-Thirring inequality for these types of anyons. * This work was partially supported by the Danish Council for Independent Research. 1 We will for simplicity restrict to scalar non-relativistic particles, i.e. point particles without internal symmetries and spin.
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.MSC2010: 81Q10, 81S05, 35P15, 46N50
Abstract. We prove analogues of the Lieb-Thirring and Hardy-LiebThirring inequalities for many-body quantum systems with fractional kinetic operators and homogeneous interaction potentials, where no antisymmetry on the wave functions is assumed. These many-body inequalities imply interesting one-body interpolation inequalities, and we show that the corresponding one-and many-body inequalities are actually equivalent in certain cases.
A local exclusion principle is observed for identical particles obeying intermediate/fractional exchange statistics in one and two dimensions, leading to bounds for the kinetic energy in terms of the density. This has implications for models of Lieb-Liniger and Calogero-Sutherland type, and implies a non-trivial lower bound for the energy of the anyon gas whenever the statistics parameter is an odd numerator fraction. We discuss whether this is actually a necessary requirement.
We consider a thought experiment where two distinct species of 2D particles in a perpendicular magnetic field interact via repulsive potentials. If the magnetic field and the interactions are strong enough, one type of particles forms a Laughlin state and the other type couples to Laughlin quasiholes. We show that, in this situation, the motion of the second type of particles is described by an effective Hamiltonian, corresponding to the magnetic gauge picture for noninteracting anyons. The argument is in accord with, but distinct from, the Berry phase calculation of Arovas, Schrieffer, and Wilczek. It suggests possibilities to observe the influence of effective anyon statistics in fractional quantum Hall systems.
