Let
H be a separable Hilbert space and
T be a self-adjoint bounded linear operator on
H⊗2 with norm
≤1, satisfying the Yang--Baxter equation. Bo\.zejko and Speicher (1994) proved that the operator
T determines a
T-deformed Fock space
F(H)=⨁n=0∞Fn(H). We start with reviewing and extending the known results about the structure of the
n-particle spaces
Fn(H) and the commutation relations satisfied by the corresponding creation and annihilation operators acting on
F(H). We then choose
H=L2(X→V), the
L2-space of
V-valued functions on
X. Here
X:=Rd and
V:=Cm with
m≥2. Furthermore, we assume that the operator
T acting on
H⊗2=L2(X2→V⊗2) is given by
(Tf(2))(x,y)=Cx,yf(2)(y,x). Here, for a.a.\
(x,y)∈X2,
Cx,y is a linear operator on
V⊗2 with norm
≤1 that satisfies
Cx,y∗=Cy,x and the spectral quantum Yang--Baxter equation. The corresponding creation and annihilation operators describe a multicomponent quantum system. A special choice of the operator-valued function
Cxy in the case
d=2 determines non-Abelian anyons (also called plektons). For a multicomponent system, we describe its
T-deformed Fock space and the available commutation relations satisfied by the corresponding creation and annihilation operators. Finally, we consider several examples of multicomponent quantum systems.
Abstract We propose a new generalization of the standard (anti-)commutation relations for creation and annihilation operators of bosons and fermions. These relations preserve the usual symmetry properties of bosons and fermions. Only the standard (anti-)commutator relation involving one creation and one annihilation operator is deformed by introducing fractional coefficients, containing a positive integer parameterp. The Fock space is determined by the classical definition. The new relations are chosen in such a way that the total occupation number in the system has the maximum valuep. From the actions of creation and annihilation operators in the Fock space, a group theoretical framework is determined, and from here the correspondence with known particle statistics is established.
