Parastatistics

In quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, parastatistics is a hypothetical alternative[1] to the established particle statistics models (Bose–Einstein statistics, Fermi–Dirac statistics and Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics). Other alternatives include anyonic statistics and braid statistics, both of these involving lower spacetime dimensions. Herbert S. Green[2] is credited with the creation of parastatistics in 1953.[3][4] The particles predicted by parastatistics have not been experimentally observed.

Formalism

Consider the operator algebra of a system of N identical particles. This is a *-algebra. There is an SN group (symmetric group of order N) acting upon the operator algebra with the intended interpretation of permuting the N particles. Quantum mechanics requires focus on observables having a physical meaning, and the observables would have to be invariant under all possible permutations of the N particles. For example, in the case N = 2, R2 − R1 cannot be an observable because it changes sign if we switch the two particles, but the distance between the two particles : |R2 − R1| is a legitimate observable.

In other words, the observable algebra would have to be a *-subalgebra invariant under the action of SN (noting that this does not mean that every element of the operator algebra invariant under SN is an observable). This allows different superselection sectors, each parameterized by a Young diagram of SN.

In particular:

  • For N identical parabosons of order p (where p is a positive integer), permissible Young diagrams are all those with p or fewer rows.
  • For N identical parafermions of order p, permissible Young diagrams are all those with p or fewer columns.
  • If p is 1, this reduces to Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac statistics respectively[clarification needed].
  • If p is arbitrarily large (infinite), this reduces to Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics.

Trilinear relations

There are creation and annihilation operators satisfying the trilinear commutation relations[3]

Quantum field theory

A paraboson field of order p, where if x and y are spacelike-separated points, and if where [,] is the commutator and {,} is the anticommutator. Note that this disagrees with the spin-statistics theorem, which is for bosons and not parabosons. There might be a group such as the symmetric group Sp acting upon the φ(i)s. Observables would have to be operators which are invariant under the group in question. However, the existence of such a symmetry is not essential.

A parafermion field of order p, where if x and y are spacelike-separated points, and if . The same comment about observables would apply together with the requirement that they have even grading under the grading where the ψs have odd grading.

The parafermionic and parabosonic algebras are generated by elements that obey the commutation and anticommutation relations. They generalize the usual fermionic algebra and the bosonic algebra of quantum mechanics.[5] The Dirac algebra and the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau algebra appear as special cases of the parafermionic algebra for order p = 1 and p = 2, respectively.[6]

Explanation

Note that if x and y are spacelike-separated points, φ(x) and φ(y) neither commute nor anticommute unless p=1. The same comment applies to ψ(x) and ψ(y). So, if we have n spacelike separated points x1, ..., xn,

corresponds to creating n identical parabosons at x1,..., xn. Similarly,

corresponds to creating n identical parafermions. Because these fields neither commute nor anticommute

and

gives distinct states for each permutation π in Sn.

We can define a permutation operator by

and

respectively. This can be shown to be well-defined as long as is only restricted to states spanned by the vectors given above (essentially the states with n identical particles). It is also unitary. Moreover, is an operator-valued representation of the symmetric group Sn and as such, we can interpret it as the action of Sn upon the n-particle Hilbert space itself, turning it into a unitary representation.
