Relativistic Spin-Statistics Connection and Kaluza-Klein Space-Time

Abstract

The non-relativistic formalism introduced by Berry and Robbins that naturally incorporates the spin-statistics connection is generalized relativistically. It is then extended to an arbitrary Kaluza-Klein space-time by a suitable generalization of the Schwinger treatment of angular momenta. This leads, in this approach, to the inclusion of the `internal' quantum numbers in the spin-statistics connection on an equal footing with spin.
