Anyonic excitations in fast rotating Bose gases

Abstract
The role of anyonic excitations in fast rotating harmonically trapped Bose gases in a fractional quantum Hall state is examined. Standard Chern-Simons anyons as well as ``nonstandard'' anyons obtained from a statistical interaction having Maxwell-Chern-Simons dynamics and suitable nonminimal coupling to matter are considered. Their respective ability to stabilize attractive Bose gases under fast rotation in the thermodynamical limit is studied. Stability can be obtained for standard anyons while for nonstandard anyons, stability requires that the range of the corresponding statistical interaction does not exceed the typical wavelength of the atoms.
