The partition function for an anyon-like oscillator

Abstract

We compute the partition function of an anyon-like harmonic oscillator. The well known results for both the bosonic and fermionic oscillators are then re-obtained as particular cases of our function. The technique we employ is a non-relativistic version of the Green function method used in the computation of one-loop effective actions of quantum field theory.

Investigations on finite ideal quantum gases

Heinz–Jürgen Schmidt, Jürgen Schnack

Recursion formulae of the N-particle partition function, the occupation numbers and its fluctuations are given using the single-particle partition function. Exact results are presented for fermions and bosons in a common one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential, for the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator approximations are tested. Applications to excited nuclei and Bose–Einstein condensation are discussed.

Functional integral representation of the partition function

Joseph I. Kapusta, Charles Gale

Functional integral representation of the partition functionThe customary approach to nonrelativistic many-body theory is to proceed with the method of second quantization begun in the first chapter.There is another approach, the method of functional integrals, which we shall follow here.Of course, what can be done in one formalism can always be done in another.Nevertheless, functional integrals seem to be the method of choice for most elementary particle theorists these days, and they seem to lend themselves more readily to nonperturbative phenomena such as tunneling, instantons, lattice gauge theory, etc.For gauge theories they are practically indispensable.However, there is a certain amount of formalism that must be developed before we can start to discuss physical applications.In this chapter, we shall derive the functional integral representation of the partition function for interacting relativistic non-gauge field theories.As a check on the formalism, as well as to obtain some feeling for how functional integrals work, we shall then rederive some well-known results on relativistic ideal gases for bosons and fermions.

Thermodynamic fermion-boson symmetry in harmonic oscillator potentials

Schmidt, H.-J, Schnack, J

A remarkable thermodynamic fermion–boson symmetry is found for the canonical ensemble of ideal quantum gases in harmonic oscillator potentials of odd dimensions. The bosonic partition function is related to the fermionic one extended to negative temperatures, and vice versa.

Statistics of q-oscillators, quons and relations to fractional statistics

Масуд Чайчиан, R. González Felipe, Claus Montonen

The statistics of q-oscillators, quons, and, to some extent, of anyons are studied and the basic differences among these objects are pointed out In particular, the statistical distributions for different bosonic and fermionic q-oscillators are found for their corresponding Fock space representations in the case when the Hamiltonian is identified with the number operator. In this case and for non-relativistic particles, the single-particle temperature Green function is defined with q-deformed periodicity conditions. The equations of state for nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic bosonic q-gases in an arbitrary space dimension are found near Bose statistics, as well as that for an anyonic gas near Bose and Fermi statistics. The first corrections to the second virial coefficients are also evaluated.

Multianyon spectra and wave functions

Chihong Chou

We study a many-body system consisting of $N$ identical anyons in an external harmonic-oscillator potential. A partial set of exact solutions is obtained by using Jacobi coordinates. For completing the full investigation, we employ a perturbative method to compute those spectra, which have not been analytically obtained. Near the boson limit, we point out that the requirement of the boson being hard core is needed for performing the perturbative calculations, and the first-order $N$-anyon ground-state energies are explicitly presented by using a proper regulation procedure. Up to third perturbative order from the fermion limit, the three-anyon ground-state energy corrections are explicitly presented. Finally we compute the first-order three-anyon ground-state wave function near the fermion limit.

Schwinger’s method and the computation of determinants

Luiz C. de Albuquerque, Carlos Farina, Silvio Rabello

We show how to use Schwinger’s method to evaluate determinants of differential operators that appear quite often in ordinary quantum mechanics. Although this method was introduced by Schwinger in the early fifties to compute effective actions for quantum electrodynamics and was recently applied by him in the Casimir effect, it has never been used in nonrelativistic problems. As explicit examples we compute the partition functions for both the bosonic and the fermionic harmonic oscillator.
