Unruh effect in storage rings
Jon Magne Leinaas
A uniformly accelerated system will get thermally excited due to interactions with the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum fields. This is the Unruh effect. Also a system accelerate…
Exclusion Statistics in Classical Mechanics
T. H. Hansson, S. B. Isakov, J. M. Leinaas +1
We present a general method to derive the classical mechanics of a system of identical particles in a way that retains information about quantum statistics. The resulting statistic…
Spin and Statistics for Quantum Hall Quasi-Particles
Jon Magne Leinaas
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 quas…
Accelerated Electrons and the Unruh Effect
Jon Magne Leinaas
Quantum effects for electrons in a storage ring are studied in a co-moving, accelerated frame. The polarization effect due to spin flip synchrotron radiation is examined by treatin…
Bulk and edge properties of the Chern-Simons Ginzburg-Landau theory for the fractional quantum Hall effect
Jon Magne Leinaas, Susanne Viefers
The Chern-Simons Ginzburg-Landau theory for the fractional Quantum Hall effect is studied in the presence of a confining potential. We review the bulk properties of the model and d…
Generalized statistics and the algebra of observables
Jon Magne Leinaas
A short review is given of how to apply the algebraic Heisenberg quantization scheme to a system of identical particles. For two particles in one dimension the approach leads to a…
