Abstract

Generalized quantum statistics will be presented in the context of representation theory of Lie (super)algebras. This approach provides a natural mathematical framework, as is illustrated by the relation between para-Bose and para-Fermi operators and Lie (super)algebras of type B. Inspired by this relation, A-statistics is introduced, arising from representation theory of the Lie algebra An. The Fock representations for An=sl(n+1) provide microscopic descriptions of particular kinds of exclusion statistics, which may be called quasi-Bose statistics. It is indicated that A-statistics appears to be the natural statistics for certain lattice models in condensed matter physics.
