We obtain the rule governing many-body wave functions for particles obeying fractional statistics in two (space) dimensions. It generalizes and continuously interpolates the usual symmetrization and antisymmetrization. Quantum mechanics of more than two particles is discussed and some new features are found.

We link, by means of a semiclassical approach, the fractional statistics of particles obeying the Haldane exclusion principle to the Tsallis statistics and derive a generalized quantum entropy and its associated statistics.

R. B. Laughlin

In a previous paper, Kalmeyer and Laughlin argued that the elementary excitations of the original Anderson resonating-valence-bond model might obey fractional statistics. In this paper, it is shown that an ideal gas of such particles is a new kind of superconductor.
