Interaction-induced particle-hole symmetry breaking and fractional exclusion statistics

Abstract

Quantum statistics plays a fundamental role in the laws of nature. Haldane fractional exclusion statistics (FES) generalizes the Pauli exclusion statistics, and can emerge in the properties of elementary particles and hole excitations of a quantum system consisting of conventional bosons or fermions. FES has a long history of intensive studies, but its simple realization in interacting physical systems is rare. Here we report a simple non-mutual FES that depicts the particle-hole symmetry breaking in interacting Bose gases at a quantum critical point. We show that the FES distribution directly comes from particle-hole symmetry breaking. Based on exact solutions, quantum Monte Carlo simulations and experiments, we find that, over a wide range of interaction strengths, the macroscopic physical properties of these gases are determined by non-interacting quasi-particles that obey non-mutual FES of the same form in one and two dimensions. Whereas strongly interacting Bose gases reach full fermionization in one dimension, they exhibit incomplete fermionization in two dimensions. Our results provide a generic connection between interaction-induced particle-hole symmetry breaking (depicted by FES) and macroscopic properties of many-body systems in arbitrary dimensions. Our work lays the groundwork for using FES to explore quantum criticality and other novel many-body phenomena in strongly correlated quantum systems.

Haldane Fractional Statistics for 1D Heisenberg Spin XXX Chain

Wei-Jia Liu, Jiajia Luo, Xi-Wen Guan

Haldane's fractional exclusion statistics (FES) describes a generalized Pauli exclusion statistics, which can be regarded as an emergent quantum statistics induced by the intrinsic dynamical interaction. A non-mutual FES has been identified at the quantum criticality of the one-dimensional (1D) and 2D interacting Bose Gas [Nat. Sci. Rev. 9, nwac027 (2022)]. It is naturally asked if such a non-mutual FES can be induced by the spin-spin interaction in the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 XXX chain? In this article, we first represent the Bethe ansatz equations of spin strings in terms of the FES equations of different species. Then we show that the 1D spin XXX chain remarkably possesses the non-mutual FES in the critical region. We observe that the equation of state in terms of the FES gives rises to full statistical properties of the model at quantum criticality, which are in good agreement with the results obtained from the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations of the model. From the non-mutual FES, we also precisely determine the quantum scaling functions, which further agree well with the previous TBA results [Phys. Rev. B 96, 220401(R) (2017)]. Finally, we also build up an exact mapping between the scaling functions of the Lieb-Liniger model and the spin Heisenberg spin chain at quantum criticality. Our method provides deep insights into the critical phase of matter from quantum FES point of view.

GENERALIZED STATISTICS IN SYSTEMS OF INTERACTING PARTICLES

Dragoş-Victor Anghel

After a very brief introduction to the concept of fractional exclusion statistics (FES), introduced by Haldane in Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 937 (1991), I shall present some recent results regarding the basic properties of this statistics. These properties have been overlooked for almost two decades and because of that, the application of FES to concrete physical systems was, to a certain degree, arbitrary. Essentially, the FES is a generalization of the Pauli Exclusion Principle which allows one to describe systems of interacting particles (bosons or fermions) as systems of ideal particles, but which obey a more peculiar type of statistics. In the second part of the paper I shall present some application of FES by analyzing concrete systems of interacting particles.

Haldane fractional statistics for a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin X X X chain

Haldane's fractional exclusion statistics (FES) describe generalized Pauli exclusion statistics, which can be regarded as emergent quantum statistics induced by the intrinsic dynamical interaction. Nonmutual FES have been identified at the quantum criticality of the one-dimensional (1D) and 2D interacting Bose gas [Nat. Sci. Rev. 9, nwac027 (2022)]. It is naturally asked if such nonmutual FES can be induced by the spin-spin interaction in the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 $XXX$ chain. In this article, we first represent the Bethe ansatz equations of spin strings in terms of the FES equations of different species. Then we show that the 1D spin $XXX$ chain remarkably possesses nonmutual FES in the critical region.

An ansatz for the exclusion statistics parameters in macroscopic physical systems described by fractional exclusion statistics

Dragoş-Victor Anghel

I introduce an ansatz for the exclusion statistics parameters of fractional-exclusion-statistics (FES) systems and I apply it to calculate the statistical distribution of particles from both, bosonic and fermionic perspectives. To check the applicability of the ansatz, I calculate the FES parameters in three well-known models: a Fermi-liquid–type system, a one-dimensional quantum system described in the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and quasi-particle excitations in a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) system. The FES parameters of the first two models satisfy the ansatz, whereas those of the third model, although close to the form given by the ansatz, represent an exception. In this case I also show that the general properties of the FES parameters, deduced elsewhere ( EPL , 87 (2009) 60009), are satisfied also by the parameters of the FQH liquid.

Fractional exclusion statistics: the concept and some applications

Dragoş-Victor Anghel

I present briefly the concept of fractional exclusion statistics (FES) and I analyze two models of interacting particle systems. After I show that the models are equivalent by transforming one into the other by redefining some terms in the Hamiltonians, I calculate the heat capacity of the system and compare it with the heat capacity of an ideal Bose or Fermi gas. I show that under certain conditions the heat capacities may not be equal. I show that the interacting particle system may always be described as an ideal gas obeying FES and I show the method to construct such a gas.

Fractional exclusion statistics: the method for describing interacting particle systems as ideal gases

Dragoş-Victor Anghel

I show that if the total energy of a system of interacting particles may be written as a sum of quasiparticle energies, then the system of quasiparticles can be viewed, in general, as an ideal gas with fractional exclusion statistics (FES). The general method for calculating the FES parameters is also provided. The interacting particle system cannot be described as an ideal gas of Bose and Fermi quasiparticles except in trivial situations.
