The anyon fluid in the Bogoliubov approximation
Carlo A. Trugenberger
Abstract
We study the free anyon fluid by extending the usual Bogoliubov approximation to the case of nonlocal "statistical" interactions. We thereby compute the ground-state energy, the spectrum of low-lying excitations, the static structure factor, and the pair distribution function. The ground-state energy depends crucially on the magnetic dimension of the anyons, a scale that is unavoidably present at the quantum level. The linearly dispersing collective mode in the excitation spectrum indicates superfluidity.
