We examine the detail of the analytic structure of an exact analytic solution of three anyons, which interpolates to the fermion ground state in a harmonic potential well. The analysis is done on the fundamental domain with appropriate boundary conditions. Some remarks on the hard-core conditions and self-adjointness are made.
We present new family of exact analytic solutions for three anyons in a harmonic potential (or in free space) in terms of generalized harmonics on S3, which supplement the known solutions. The new solutions satisfy the hard-core condition when α=31,1 (α being the statistical parameter) but otherwise, have finite non-vanishing two-particle colliding probability density, which is consistent with self-adjointness of the Hamiltonian. These solutions, however, do not have one-to-one mapping property between bosonic and fermionic spectra.
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.
We show that the low-lying spectrum of three noninteracting anyons in a harmonic potential can be qualitatively and quantitatively understood on the basis of a simple set of analytic wave functions. These wave functions are exact in both the boson and fermion limits and satisfy the anyone wave-function phase condition at all intermediate values of the statistical parameter 01. The resulting nonlinear spectrum agrees with those of exact numerical calculations to better than a few parts in a thousand.
