The configuration space of a two-particle system is the half-line. This makes the Hamiltonian self-adjoint for a family of boundary conditions parametrized by one real number $\\gamma$. The limit $\\gamma \\rightarrow 0, (\\infty$) reproduces the propagator of non-relativistic particles whose wavefunctions are even (odd) under particle exchange. A relativistic ansatz is also proposed which reproduces the correct Polyakov spin factor for the spinning particle in $1+1$ dimensions. These checks support validity of the interpretation of $\\gamma$ as a parameter related to the ``spin'' that interpolates continuously between bosons ($\\gamma =0$) and fermions ($\\gamma =\\infty$). Our approach can thus be useful for obtaining the propagator for one-dimensional anyons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-03-20T21:55:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dimensions", "correct polyakov spin factor", "checks support validity", "one-dimensional anyons", "configuration space" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 393569 } } }
