R. Mignani et R. Scipioni, Non-invariant ground states, thermal average, and generalized fermionic statistics, PHYS LETT A, 263(4-6), 1999, pp. 411-415
We present an approach to generalized fermionic statistics which relates th
e existence of a generalized statistical behaviour to non-invariant ground
states. Considering the thermal average of an operator generalization of th
e Heisenberg algebra, we get an occupation number which depends on the degr
ee of mixing between symmetric and antisymmetric sectors of the ground stat
e. A natural prescription is given for the construction of a supersymmetric
statistics. We also show that the structure of the vacuum, and therefore t
he statistical behaviour of the system, can be accounted for in terms of a
second-order phase transition. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
