Abstract
The ground and the excited states of a two-dimensional anyon system are studied via finite-size numerical calculations and single-mode approximation In a spherical geometry. It is shown that Laughlin`s mean field theory gives an accurate description of the ground state properties. We find, consistent with earlier analytic theories, that the collective mode of the system exhibits a linear dispersion in the long wavelength limit, and predict a novel roton minimum at a finite value of the wavenumber q. We also discuss the consequences on the anyon spectrum of having a model repulsive interaction between the particles.
