Description of the academic discipline
Aims and objectives: acquainting students with physical models that can be described using quantum statistical distributions different from the traditional Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein distributions. The main objectives are to analyze fractional Gentile statistics, nonextensive Tsallis statistics, anyon statistics, and some others in terms of statistical physics and quantum mechanics. Relevant issues are relevant in the study of low-dimensional (one- and two-dimensional) systems.
Intended capabilities: to know the basic physical models in which fractional statistics arise, and theoretical approaches to their study; to be able to get the basic relations to describe systems with fractional statistics in statistical-mechanical and quantum-mechanical approaches, find the relationship between the parameters introduced in various types of statistics.
Students of the course need knowledge from the courses of quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and quantum statistics.
