Anyons and Deformed Lie Algebras

Abstract

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.

q-deformed classical Lie algebras and their anyonic realization

M Frau, M A R-Monteiro, S Sciuto

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.

One-Dimensional Anyon Lattice and sl q (2) Algebra Realization

Z Bentalha, M. Tahiri, B. Liani

We discuss the connection between anyons (particles with fractional statistics) living on a one-dimensional lattice and sl q (2) algebra. We assign to each site-anyon field, then we demand the anyonic fields to be noncommuting objects in agreement with the Chern–Simons picture of anyons. We show how the anyonic algebra can emerge from these noncommuting objects. Starting from the emerged algebra we build the sl q (2) algebra at q roots of unity.

On the class of possible non-local anyon-like operators and quantum groups

Масуд Чайчиан, R Gonzalez Felipe, C Montonen

We find a class of non-local 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 anyonic operators defined on a lattice.

Fractional Statistics

Martin Greiter, Frank A. Wilczek

The quantum-mechanical description of assemblies of particles whose motion is confined to two (or one) spatial dimensions offers many possibilities that are distinct from bosons and fermions. We call such particles anyons. The simplest anyons are parameterized by an angular phase parameter $θ$. $θ= 0, π$ correspond to bosons and fermions respectively; at intermediate values we say that we have fractional statistics. In two dimensions, $θ$ describes the phase acquired by the wave function as two anyons wind around one another counterclockwise. It generates a shift in the allowed values for the relative angular momentum. Composites of localized electric charge and magnetic flux associated with an abelian U(1) gauge group realize this behavior. More complex charge-flux constructions can involve non-abelian and product groups acting on a spectrum of allowed charges and fluxes, giving rise to nonabelian and mutual statistics. Interchanges of non-abelian anyons implement unitary transformations of the wave function within an emergent space of internal states. Anyons of all kinds are described by quantum field theories that include Chern--Simons terms. The crossings of one-dimensional anyons on a ring are uni-directional, such that a fractional phase $θ$ acquired upon interchange gives rise to fractional shifts in the relative momenta between the anyons. The quasiparticle excitations of fractional quantum Hall states have long been predicted to include anyons. Recently the anyon behavior predicted for quasiparticles in the $ν= 1/3$ fractional quantum Hall state has been observed both in scattering and in interferometric experiments. Excitations within designed systems, notably including superconducting circuits, can exhibit anyon behavior. Such systems are being developed for possible use in quantum information processing.
