Abstract
The topology of particle trajectories in two-dimensional space allows for existence of anyons — particles obeying statistics intermediate between that of bosons and fermions. In this article, the functional form of the occupation numbers of free anyons is suggested as a modification of the Gibbs factor in the Bose and Fermi statistics. The proposed expressions are studied in the bosonic and fermionic limits. The obtained virial coefficients coincide with those of free anyons up to the fourth and fifth virial coefficients (the proposed approach can be extended for higher ones as well) and up to the second order in the anyonic parameter. The effective excitation spectrum corresponding to anyons is calculated.
