Disappearance of fractional statistics in Schrieffer-Wilczek theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper of Arovas, Schrieffer and Wilczek is corrected. It is found that the Berry's phase is vanishingly small. Accordingly, the statistical vector potential also becomes negligibly small. The need for intermediate statistics is then obviated.

Emergence of Fractional Statistics for Tracer Particles in a Laughlin Liquid.
We consider a thought experiment where two distinct species of 2D particles in a perpendicular magnetic field interact via repulsive potentials. If the magnetic field and the interactions are strong enough, one type of particles forms a Laughlin state and the other type couples to Laughlin quasiholes. We show that, in this situation, the motion of the second type of particles is described by an...
متن کاملSome Basic Aspects of Fractional Quantum Numbers
I review why and how physical states with fractional quantum numbers can occur, emphasizing basic mechanisms in simple contexts. The general mechanism of charge fractionalization is the passage from states created by local action of fields to states having a topological character, which permits mixing between local and topological charges. The primeval case of charge fractionalization for domai...
متن کاملBCS as Foundation and Inspiration: The Transmutation of Symmetry
The BCS theory injected two powerful ideas into the collective consciousness of theoretical physics: pairing and spontaneous symmetry breaking. In the 50 years since the seminal work of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer, those ideas have found important use in areas quite remote from the stem application to metallic superconductivity. This is a brief and eclectic sketch of some highlights, emphas...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of non-Abelian Chern-Simons particles.
We discuss the statistical mechanics of a two-dimensional gas of nonAbelian Chern-Simons particles which obey the non-Abelian braid statistics. The second virial coefficient is evaluated in the framework of the non-Abelian Chern-Simons quantum mechanics. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 05.30.-d Typeset using REVTEX 1 One of the novel features of anyons [1] is that their thermodynamic character as well ...
متن کاملVariational Principle and Plane Wave Propagation in Thermoelastic Medium with Double Porosity Under Lord-Shulman Theory
The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...
