Interacting anyons and the Darwin Lagrangian

I discuss two techniques that can be used in the investigation of the properties of ``colliding" and ``non-colliding" anyons.

We analyze the dynamics between 1/$\lambda$-fractional statistics particles (anyons) in an exact three-body solution of the Sutherland Hamiltonian. We show that anyons interact by means of a short-range attraction. The interaction dictates important features of the spectral function for a charge-1 particle.

We show that the low-energy dynamics of anyons in (1+1)-dimensions with the smallest number of derivatives and C, P and T symmetric interactions, are dual to the sine-Gordon model for bosonic fields. We discuss in particular the Tomonaga-Luttinger, Thirring and Schwinger models, as well as their deformation by relevant and marginal operators. In the presence of electromagnetic interactions, the mass of the meson from anyon confinement and the chiral anomaly get corrected by t...

Darwin (1920) noted that when radiation can be neglected it should be possible to eliminate the radiation degrees-of-freedom from the action of classical electrodynamics and keep the discrete particle degrees-of-freedom only. Darwin derived his well known Lagrangian by series expansion in $v/c$ keeping terms up to order $(v/c)^2$. Since radiation is due to acceleration the assumption of low speed should not be necessary. A Lagrangian is suggested that neglects radiation witho...

The non-relativistic quantum field theoretic lagrangian which describes an anyon system in the presence of an electromagnetic field is identified. A non-minimal magnetic coupling to the Chern-Simons statistical field as well as to the electromagnetic field together with a direct coupling between between both fields are the non-trivial ingredients of the lagrangian obtained from the non-relativistic limit of the fermionic relativistic formulation. The results, an electromagnet...

Anyon gas with interparticle (retarded) Coulomb interaction has been studied. The resulting system is shown to be a collection of dressed anyons, with a screening factor introduced in their spin. Close structural similarity with the Chern-Simons construction of anyons has helped considerably in computing the screening effect. Finally the present model is compared with the conventional Chern-Simons construction.

In our recent paper (Phys. Rev. B 76, 075403 (2007)), we have applied the anyon concept to derive an approximate analytic formula for the ground state energy, which applies to two-dimensional (2D) Coulomb systems from the bosonic to the fermionic limit. We make use of these results here to draw attention to correlation effects for two special cases: the spin-polarized 2D fermion system and the charged anyon system close to the bosonic limit. By comparison with quantum Monte-C...

A review on the Anyon model and the lowest Landau level Anyon model is presented.

In this paper we introduce a one-dimensional model of $su(2)_k$ anyons in which the number of anyons can fluctuate by means of a pairing term. The model can be tuned to a point at which one can determine the exact zero-energy ground states, in close analogy to the spin-1 AKLT model. We also determine the points at which the model is integrable and determine the behavior of the model at these integrable points.

Anyons have garnered substantial interest theoretically as well as experimentally. Due to the intricate nature of their interactions, however, even basic notions such as the equation of state for any kind of anyon gas have eluded a profound understanding so far. Using holography as a guiding principle, we propose a general method for an alternative quantization of electromagnetic degrees of freedom in the gravitational dual to obtain an effective physical description of stron...
