We calculate the second virial coefficient of anyons whose wave function does not vanish at coincidence points. This kind of anyons appear naturally when one generalizes the hard-core boundary condition according to self-adjoint extension method in quantum mechanics, and also when anyons are treated field theoretically by applying renormalization procedure to nonrelativistic Chern-Simons field theory. For the anyons which do not satisfy hard-core boundary condition, it is argued that the other scale-invariant limit is more relevant in high-temperature limit where virial expansion is useful. Furthermore, the cusp existing at the bosonic point for hard-core anyons disappears in all the other cases; instead it is shown that a new cusp is generated at the fermionic point. A physical explanation is given.

We calculate the second virial coefficient of spin-1/2 anyon gas in the various values of the self-adjoint extension parameter by incorporating the self-adjoint extension method into the Green's function formalism. Especially, the completely different cusp- and discontinuity-structures from the result of previous literature are obtained when the self-adjoint extension parameter goes to infinity. This is originated from the different condition for the occurrence of irregular s...

Evaluating the propagator by the usual time-sliced manner, we use it to compute the second virial coefficient of an anyon gas interacting through the repulsive potential of the form $g/r^2 (g > 0)$. All the cusps for the unpolarized spin-1/2 as well as spinless cases disappear in the $\omega \to 0$ limit, where $\omega$ is a frequency of harmonic oscillator which is introduced as a regularization method. As $g$ approaches to zero, the result reduces to the noninteracting hard...

We use the method of solving the three-anyon problem developed in our earlier publication to evaluate numerically the third virial coefficient of free anyons. In order to improve precision, we explicitly correct for truncation effects. The present calculation is about three orders of magnitude more precise than the previous Monte Carlo calculation and indicates the presence of a term $a sin^4 \pi\nu$ with a very small coefficient $a \simeq -1.65 10^{-5}$.

We study the thermodynamical properties of an ideal gas of non-Abelian Chern-Simons particles and we compute the second virial coefficient, considering the effect of general soft-core boundary conditions for the two-body wavefunction at zero distance. The behaviour of the second virial coefficient is studied as a function of the Chern-Simons coupling, the isospin quantum number and the hard-coreness parameters. Expressions for the main thermodynamical quantities at the lower ...

A path integral formalism for multispecies anyons is introduced, whereby partition functions are expressed in terms of generating functions of winding number probability distributions. In a certain approximation, the equation of state for exclusion statistics follows. By Monte Carlo simulation, third-order cluster and virial coefficients are found numerically.

The general notion of distance dependent statistics in anyon-like systems is discussed. The two-body problem for such statistics is considered, the general formula for the second virial coefficient is derived and it is shown that in the limiting cases it reproduces the known results for ideal anyons.

The topology of two-dimensional movement allows for existing of anyons -- particles obeying statistics intermediate between that of bosons and fermions. In this article, the functional form of the occupation numbers of free anyons is suggested as a modification of the Gibbs factor in the Bose and Fermi statistics. The proposed expressions are studied in the bosonic and fermionic limits. The obtained virial coefficients coincide with those of free anyons up to the fourth and f...

We have computed by a Monte Carlo method the fourth virial coefficient of free anyons, as a function of the statistics angle theta. It can be fitted by a four term Fourier series, in which two coefficients are fixed by the known perturbative results at the boson and fermion points. We compute partition functions by means of path integrals, which we represent diagrammatically in such a way that the connected diagrams give the cluster coefficients. This provides a general proof...

We use a path integral representation for the partition function of non-interacting anyons confined in a harmonic oscillator potential in order to prove that the third virial coefficient of free anyons is finite, and to calculate it numerically. Our results together with previously known results are consistent with a rapidly converging Fourier series in the statistics angle.

For three anyons confined in a harmonic oscillator, only the class of states that interpolate nonlinearly with the statistical parameter contributes to the third virial coefficient of a free anyon gas. Rather than evaluating the full three-body partition function as was done in an earlier publication (Phys. Rev. {\bf A46}, 4693 (1992)), here only the nonlinear contribution is calculated, thus avoiding delicate cancellations between the irrelevant linear part and the two-body ...
