Quantal statistical phase factor accompanying inter-change of two particles

Quantum Physics 2010-02-24 v99

Abstract

It is shown that effects of particle identity entail reduction in the number of orbital degrees-of-freedom in non-relativistic 2-particle systems from 6 to 5. This effect of redundancy in description of orbital motion is found to be in correspondence to multiplicative phase factor (1)2s(-1)^{2s} which accompany interchange of the two particles, where ss is the spin of one particle.
