Revision of the fractional exclusion statistics

Statistical Mechanics 2009-06-29 v1 Quantum Gases

Abstract

I discuss the concept of fractional exclusion statistics (FES) and I show that in order to preserve the thermodynamic consistency of the formalism, the exclusion statistics parameters should change if the species of particles in the system are divided into subspecies. Using a simple and intuitive model I deduce the general equations that have to be obeyed by the exlcusion statistics parameters in any FES system.
