We find a class of nonlocal operators constructed by attaching a disorder operator to fermionic degrees of freedom, which can be used to generate q-deformed algebras following the Schwinger approach. This class includes the recently proposed anyonic operators defined on a lattice.
We discuss the connection between anyons (particles with fractional statistics) and deformed Lie algebras (quantum groups). After a brief review of the main properties of anyons, we present the details of the anyonic realization of all deformed classical Lie algebras in terms of anyonic oscillators. The deformation parameter of the quantum groups is directly related to the statistics parameter of the anyons. Such a realization is a direct generalization of the Schwinger construction in terms of fermions and is based on a sort of bosonization formula which yields the generators of the deformed algebra in terms of the undeformed ones. The entire procedure is well defined on two-dimensional lattices, but it can be consistently reduced also to one-dimensional chains.
All classical Lie algebras can be realized a la Schwinger (1965) in terms of fermionic oscillators. We show that the same can be done for their q-deformed counterparts by simply replacing the fermionic oscillators with anyonic ones defined on a two-dimensional lattice. The deformation parameter q is a phase related to the anyonic statistical parameter. A crucial role in this construction is played by a sort of bosonization formula which gives the generators of the quantum algebras in terms of the undeformed ones. The entire procedure works even on one-dimensional chains; in such a case q can also be real.
