Statistics in the Propositional Formulation of Quantum Mechanics

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We give a definition for the notion of statistics in the lattice-theoretical (or propositional) formulation of quantum mechanics of Birchoff, von Neumann and Piron. We show that this formalism is compatible only with two types of statistics: Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac. Some comments are made about the connection between this result and the existence of exotic statistics (para-statistics, infinite statistics, braid statistics).
