Using the theory of fibre bundles, we provide several equivalent intrinsic descriptions for the Hilbert spaces of $n$ ``free'' nonrelativistic and relativistic plektons in two space dimensions. These spaces carry a ray representation of the Galilei group and a unitary representation of the Poincar\'{e} group respectively. In the relativistic case we also discuss the situation where the braid group is replaced by the ribbon braid group.

Quantum particles in noncommutative spacetime: An identity crisis

We argue that the notion of identical particles is no longer well defined in quantum systems governed by non-commutative deformations of space-time symmetries. Such models are characterized by…

Two-particle scattering theory for anyons

We consider potential scattering theory of a nonrelativistic quantum mechanical 2-particle system in R2 with anyon statistics. Sufficient conditions are given which guarantee the existence of Moller…

Quantum group symmetry and particle scattering in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity

Completing Multiparticle Representations of the Poincaré Group.

We extend the definition of asymptotic multiparticle states of the S-matrix beyond the tensor products of one-particle states. We identify new quantum numbers called pairwise helicities, or q_{ij},…

Exchange and exclusion in the non-abelian anyon gas

We review and develop the many-body spectral theory of ideal anyons, i.e. identical quantum particles in the plane whose exchange rules are governed by unitary representations of the braid group on…

Scattering states of plektons (particles with braid group statistics) in 2+1 dimensional quantum field theory

A Haag-Ruelle scattering theory for particles with braid group statistics is developed, and the arising structure of the Hilbert space of multiparticle states is analyzed.

A Chern-Simons approach to Galilean quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions

We define and discuss classical and quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions in the Galilean limit. Although there are no Newtonian forces between massive objects in (2+1)-dimensional gravity, the Galilean…

Galilean quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions

In this thesis, we study the Galilean limit of gravity in 2 + 1 dimensions and give the necessary ingredients for its quantisation. We study two groups that play fundamental role in this thesis, the…

No-Go Theorem for ‘Free’ Relativistic Anyons in d=2+1

We show that a quantum field theoretic model of anyons cannot be ‘free’ in the restrictive sense that the basic fields create only one-particle states out of the vacuum.

The projective unitary irreducible representations of the Poincaré group in 1+2 dimensions

A complete analysis is given of the projective unitary irreducible representations of the Poincare group in 1+2 dimensions applying the Mackey theorem and using an explicit formula for the universal…

Remarks on non-standard statistics

The theory of non-standard statistics is reviewed and placed in a (co)homological setting. Some general mathematical results are shown to be relevant. The specific heat of a two-particle molecular…

Starting from the principle of locality of observables we derive localization properties of massive particle states which hold in all models of relativistic quantum theory, including gauge theories.…
