Abstract
We show that the assumption of quasiperiodic boundary conditions (thos e that interpolate continuously periodic and antiperiodic conditions) in order to compute partition functions of relativistic particles in 2 + 1 space-time can be related with anyonic physics. In particular, in the low temperature limit, our result leads to the well-known second virial coefficient for anyons. Besides, we also obtain the high temper ature limit as well as the full temperature dependence of this coeffic ient.
