Ground state properties of hard-core anyons in a harmonic potential

Abstract

Using anyon-fermion mapping method, we investigate the ground state properties of hard-core anyons confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap. The concise analytical formula of the reduced one-body density matrix are obtained. Basing on the formula, we evaluated the momentum distribution, the natural orbitals and their occupation distributions for different statistical parameters. The occupation and occupation fraction of the lowest natural orbital versus anyon number are also displayed. It is shown that the ground state properties of anyons interplay between Bosons and Fermions continuously. We can expect that the hard-core anyons of larger statistical parameter exhibit the similar properties to the hard-core Bosons although anyon system satisfy specific fractional statistics.
