Thermodynamics of an anyon system

We examine the thermal behavior of a relativistic anyon system, dynamically realized by coupling a charged massive spin-1 field to a Chern-Simons gauge field. We calculate the free energy (to the next leading order) from which all thermodynamic quantities can be determined. As examples, the dependence of particle density on the anyon statistics and the anyon-antianyon interference in the ideal gas are exhibited. We also calculate two- and three-point correlation functions, and uncover certain physical features of the system in thermal equilibrium.
