TLDR
The exact spectrum and thermodynamics of the S=1/2 Heisenberg chain with inverse-square exchange are explicitly obtained in closed form, and a description in terms of semionic spin- 1/2 «spinon» excitations is developed.
Abstract
The exact spectrum and thermodynamics of the S=1/2 Heisenberg chain with inverse-square exchange are explicitly obtained in closed form, and a description in terms of semionic spin-1/2 ``spinon'' excitations is developed. The unexpected degeneracies of the spectrum lead to a new representation of the k=1 SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory that exposes an infinite set of SU(2) symmetries of that model.

Non-linear kinetics underlying generalized statistics

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that there exists a kinetical interaction principle (KIP) underlying the non-linear kinetics in particle systems, independently on the picture (Kramers, Boltzmann) used to describe their time evolution.

Fractional statistics in one dimension: view from an exactly solvable model

TL;DR: In this article, the Calogero-Sutherland model was used to construct a low-energy one-dimensional anyon model, and its correlation functions were found to be in agreement with those in the CSM, and this agreement provided an evidence for the equivalence of the first-and second-quantized construction of the 1D anyone model at least in the longwavelength limit.
