Realization of Haldane's Exclusion Statistics in a Model of Electron-Phonon Interactions
C. Pépin, Alexei M. Tsvelik
Abstract
We discuss an integrable model describing one-dimensional relativistic fermions interacting with the Toda array of $N$ scalar fields. In the limit $N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ and at low temperatures it is possible to decouple scalar bosonic modes and consider fermions separately. They have a trivial two-body scattering matrix and obey fractional statistics. As far as we know the original model presents the first example of a model with local bare interactions generating purely statistical interactions between renormalized particles. As a by-product we obtain nontrivial thermodynamic equations for the Toda array in the limit $N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$.
