Abstract

This article develops the algebraic structure that results from the θ\theta-commutator αβeiθβα=1\alpha \beta - e^{i \theta} \beta \alpha = 1 that provides a continuous interpolation between the Clifford and Heisenberg algebras. We first demonstrate the most general geometrical picture, applicable to all values of NN. After listing the properties of this Hilbert space, we study the generalized coherent states that result when ξN=0\xi^N=0, for N2N \ge 2. We also solve the generalized harmonic oscillator problem and derive generalized versions of the Hermite polynomials for general NN. Some remarks are made to connect this study to the case of anyons. This study represents the first steps towards developing an anyonic field theory.
