Cyclic Statistics In Three Dimensions
While 2-dimensional quantum systems are known to exhibit non-permutation, braid group statistics, it is widely expected that quantum statistics in 3-dimensions is solely determined by representations of the permutation group. This expectation is false for certain 3-dimensional systems, as was shown by the authors of [1, 2, 3]. In this work we demonstrate the existence of “cyclic”, or Zn, non-pe...
متن کاملMajorana fermions and non-Abelian statistics in three dimensions.
We show that three dimensional superconductors, described within a Bogoliubov-de Gennes framework, can have zero energy bound states associated with pointlike topological defects. The Majorana fermions associated with these modes have non-Abelian exchange statistics, despite the fact that the braid group is trivial in three dimensions. This can occur because the defects are associated with an o...
متن کاملBraiding statistics of loop excitations in three dimensions.
While it is well known that three dimensional quantum many-body systems can support nontrivial braiding statistics between particlelike and looplike excitations, or between two looplike excitations, we argue that a more fundamental quantity is the statistical phase associated with braiding one loop α around another loop β, while both are linked to a third loop γ. We study this three-loop braidi...

متن کاملFractional statistics in three dimensions: Compact Maxwell-Higgs system.
We show that a (3+1)-dimensional system composed of an open magnetic vortex and an electrical point charge exhibits the phenomenon of Fermi-Bose transmutation. In order to provide the physical realization of this system we focus on the lattice compact scalar electrodynamics SQED c whose topological excitations are open Nielsen-Olesen strings with magnetic monopoles attached at their ends.
