Fractal index, central charge and fractons
Abstract
We introduce the notion of fractal index associated with the universal class of particles or quasiparticles, termed fractons, which obey specific fractal statistics. A connection between fractons and conformal field theory(CFT)-quasiparticles is established taking into account the central charge and the particle-hole duality , for integer-value of the statistical parameter. In this way, we derive the Fermi velocity in terms of the central charge as . The Hausdorff dimension which labelled the universal classes of particles and the conformal anomaly are therefore related. Following another route, we also established a connection between Rogers dilogarithm function, Farey series of rational numbers and the Hausdorff dimension.
