From creation and annihilation operators to statistics

Statistical Mechanics 2017-10-11 v1

Abstract

A procedure to derive the partition function of non-interacting particles with exotic or intermediate statistics is presented. The partition function is directly related to the associated creation and annihilation operators that obey some specific commutation or anti-commutation relations. The cases of Gentile statistics, quons, Polychronakos statistics, and ewkons are considered. Ewkons statistics was recently derived from the assumption of free diffusion in energy space (Phys. Rev. E 94, 062115, 2016); an ideal gas of ewkons has negative pressure, a feature that makes them suitable for the description of dark energy.
