In two space dimensions the possibilities of fractional spin as well as fractional statistics exist. I examine the relation between fractional spin and statistics for Laughlin quasi-particles in a two-dimensional electron system with…
The new definition of fractional statistics given by Haldane can be understood in some special cases in terms of the Riemann-Roch theorem.
A well-known result, due to Dirichlet and later generalized by de la Vallee-Poussin, expresses a relationship between the sum of fractional parts and the Euler-Mascheroni constant. In this paper, we prove an asymptotic relationship between…
A key property of topologically ordered systems, such as Quantum Hall states, is the existence of excitations obeying fractional quantum statistics - anyons. We develop a theory for multicomponent counterflow states where an ordinary…
We consider a thought experiment where two distinct species of 2D particles in a perpendicular magnetic field interact via repulsive potentials. If the magnetic field and the interactions are strong enough, one type of particles forms a…
We study the scattering of fermions off 't Hooft lines in the Standard Model. A long-standing paradox suggests that the outgoing fermions necessarily carry fractional quantum numbers. In a previous paper, we resolved this paradox in the…
A novel class of self-dual solutions in $\sigma$ models and gauge theories is considered. The contribution of the corresponding fluctuations to the chiral condensate is calculated. We discuss the few tightly connected problems, such as the…
We consider the shift of charge-to-mass ratio for extremal black holes in the context of effective field theory, motivated by the Weak Gravity Conjecture. We constrain extremality corrections in different regimes subject to unitarity and…
In two dimensions, the laws of physics permit existence of anyons, particles with fractional statistics which is neither Fermi nor Bose. That is, upon exchange of two such particles, the quantum state of a system acquires a phase which is…
We explore the connection between the global symmetry quantum numbers of line defects and 't Hooft anomalies. Relative to local (point) operators, line defects may transform projectively under both internal and spacetime symmetries. This…
Supersymmetry can be consistently generalized in one and two dimensional spaces, fractional supersymmetry being one of the possible extension. 2D fractional supersymmetry of arbitrary order $F$ is explicitly constructed using an adapted…
It is customary to couple a quantum system to external classical fields. One application is to couple the global symmetries of the system (including the Poincar\'{e} symmetry) to background gauge fields (and a metric for the Poincar\'{e}…
I discuss results bearing on a variational problem of a new type, inspired by fractional quantum Hall physics. In the latter context, the main result reviewed herein can be spelled as "the phase of independent quasi-holes generated from…
In some insulators, corner charges are fractionally quantized, due to the topological invariant called a filling anomaly. The previous theories of fractional corner charges have been mostly limited to two-dimensional systems. In three…
After a brief discussion of the concepts of fractional exchange and fractional exclusion statistics, we report partly analytical and partly numerical results on thermodynamic properties of assemblies of particles obeying fractional…
It is found that the magnetic length has not been treated correctly to calculate the classical action. In fact, the charge and the magnetic length have not been resolved. It is of serious consequences because fractional charge completely…
The charge is an intricate statistic on words, due to Lascoux and Schutzenberger, which gives positive combinatorial formulas for Lusztig's q-analogue of weight multiplicities and the energy function on affine crystals, both of type A. As…
Isakov, Martin, and Ouvry [PRL 83, 580 (1999)] have recently proposed a fresh approach to the potential observation of fractional exclusion statistics. According to their argument, a clear signature of fractional statistics should exist in…
For the fractional Laplace equation, a surprising observation is the non-uniqueness for the basic Dirichlet type problems. In this paper, a somewhat sharp uniqueness condition for the fractional Laplace equation is established. We derive…
Recent studies showed that topologically trivial insulators may have fractionally quantized corner charges due to the topological invariant called a filling anomaly. Such crystal shapes in three dimensions are restricted to…
