The third virial coefficient of anyons revisited

We use the method of solving the three-anyon problem developed in our earlier publication to evaluate numerically the third virial coefficient of free anyons. In order to improve precision, we explicitly correct for truncation effects. The present calculation is about three orders of magnitude more precise than the previous Monte Carlo calculation and indicates the presence of a term $a sin^4 πν$ with a very small coefficient $a \simeq -1.65 10^{-5}$.

Anyon trajectories and the systematics of the three-anyon spectrum

We develop the concept of trajectories in anyon spectra, i.e., the continuous dependence of energy levels on the kinetic angular momentum. It provides a more economical and unified description, since each trajectory contains an infinite number of points corresponding to the same statistics. For a system of non-interacting anyons in a harmonic potential, each trajectory consists of two infinite straight line segments, in general connected by a nonlinear piece. We give the systematics of the three-anyon trajectories. The trajectories in general cross each other at the bosonic/fermionic points. We use the (semi-empirical) rule that all such crossings are true crossings, i.e.\ the order of the trajectories with respect to energy is opposite to the left and to the right of a crossing.

Solution of the Three--Anyon Problem

We solve, by separation of variables, the problem of three anyons with a harmonic oscillator potential. The anyonic symmetry conditions from cyclic permutations are separable in our coordinates. The conditions from two-particle transpositions are not separable, but can be expressed as reflection symmetry conditions on the wave function and its normal derivative on the boundary of a circle. Thus the problem becomes one-dimensional. We solve this problem numerically by discretization. $N$-point discretization with very small $N$ is often a good first approximation, on the other hand convergence as $N\to\infty$ is sometimes very slow.

The Third Virial Coefficient of Free Anyons

We use a path integral representation for the partition function of non-interacting anyons confined in a harmonic oscillator potential in order to prove that the third virial coefficient of free anyons is finite, and to calculate it numerically. Our results together with previously known results are consistent with a rapidly converging Fourier series in the statistics angle.
