Generalized Fock spaces and new forms of quantum statistics

Abstract

The recent discoveries of new forms of quantum statistics require a close look at the under-lying Fock space structure. This exercise becomes all the more important in order to provide a general classification scheme for various forms of statistics, and establish interconnections among them whenever it is possible. We formulate a theory of generalized Fock spaces, which has a three tired structure consisting of Fock space, statistics and algebra. This general formalism unifies various forms of statistics and algebras, which were earlier considered to describe different systems. Besides, the formalism allows us to construct many new kinds of quantum statistics and the associated algebras of creation and destruction operators. Some of these are: orthostatistics, null statistics or statistics of frozen order, quantum group based statistics and its many avatars, and ‘doubly-infinite’ statistics. The emergence of new forms of quantum statistics for particles interacting with singular potential is also highlighted.

Generalized Fock spaces, new forms of quantum statistics and their algebras

A.K. Mishra, G. Rajasekaran, Taramani Madras

We formulate a theory of generalized Fock spaces which underlies the different forms of quantum statistics such as "infinite", Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics. Single-indexed systems as well as multi-indexed systems that cannot be mapped into single-indexed systems are studied. Our theory is based on a three-tiered structure consisting of Fock space, statistics and algebra. This general formalism not only unifies the various forms of statistics and algebras, but also allows us to construct many new forms of quantum statistics as well as many algebras of creation and destruction operators. Some of these are : new algebras for infinite statistics, q-statistics and its many avatars, a consistent algebra for fractional statistics, null statistics or statistics of frozen order, "doubly-infinite" statistics, many representations of orthostatistics, Hubbard statistics and its variations. Key Words : Fock space -- multioscillator algebras -- q-deformation -- quantum groups -- general...

Lie Algebraical Aspects of the Quantum Statistics. Unitary Quantization (A-quantization)

T. D. Palev

This manuscript was published as a JINR Preprint E17-10550 in 1977. In view of the recent interest in various new kinds of statistics it seems the results it contains may be still of some interest. It is shown that the second quantization axioms can, in principle, be satisfied with creation and annihilation operators generating (in the case of $n$ pairs of such operators) the Lie algebra $A_n$ of the group $SL(n+1)$. A concept of a Fock space is introduced. The matrix elements of these operators are found.

Macroscopic properties of A-statistics and A-superstatistics

T. D. Palev, Joris Van Der Jeugt

In the context of Lie (super)algebras of type A , generalized quantum statistics is considered. For sl ( n + 1) this is A-statistics, and for sl (1 |n ) this is A-superstatistics. The creation and annihilation operators, their triple relations, and their Fock spaces are given. We consider a ‘free’ Hamiltonian and some macroscopic properties are studied : the grand partition function, average number of particles, etc. Symmetric functions play a role in expressions for these thermodynamical quantities.

FOCK SPACE FOR GENERALIZED STATISTICS AND BOSON-FERMION SUPERSELECTION RULE

Leonardo Falco, R. MIGNANI, Roberto Scipioni

We introduce a generalized Fock space for a recently proposed operatorial deformation of the Heisenberg-Weyl (HW) algebra, aimed at describing statistics different from the Bose or Fermi ones. The new Fock space is obtained by the tensor product of the usual Fock space and the space spanned by the eigenstates of the deformation operator ĝ. We prove a “statistical Ehrenfest-like theorem”, stating that the expectation values of the ladder operators of the generalized HW algebra — taken in the ĝ-subspace — are creation and annihilation operators defined in the usual Fock space and obeying the ordinary statistics, according to the ĝ-eigenvalues. Moreover, such a “statistics” operator ĝ can be regarded as the generator of a boson-fermion superselection rule. As a consequence, the generalized Fock space decomposes into incoherent sectors, and therefore one gets a density matrix diagonal in the ĝ eigenstates. This leads, under suitable conditions, to the possibility of continuously interpolating between different statistics. In particular, it is necessary to assume a nonstandard Liouville-Von Neumann equation for the density matrix, of the type already considered e.g. in the framework of quantum gravity. It is also preliminarily shown that our formalism leads in a natural way — due to the very properties of the operator ĝ — to a grading of the HW algebra, and therefore to a supersymmetrical scheme.

Fermions, Bosons, Anyons, Boltzmanions and Lie-Hopf Algebras

E. Celeghini

Usual quantum statistics is written in Fock space but it is not an algebraic theory. We show that at a deeper level it can be algebraically formalized defining the different statistics as (multi-mode) coherent states of the appropriate (but different from the usual ones) Lie-Hopf groups. The traditional connection between groups and statistics, established in vacuum, is indeed subverted by the interaction with the thermal bath. We show indeed that h(1), related in quantum field theory to bosons, must be used to define in presence of a bath the Boltzmann statistics while, to build the Bose statistics, we have to take into account su(1,1). Astonishing to describe fermions we are forced to use not the superalgebra h(1|1) but su(2) in the fundamental representation. Higher representations of su(2) allow also to give a possible definition of anyon statistics with generalized Pauli principle. Physical implications are discussed; the results is more general then the usual on the discrete spectrum, but everything collapses to standard theory when the continuum limit is performed.
