Thermodynamics of Ideal Quantum Gas with Fractional Statistics in D Dimensions

We present exact and explicit results for the thermodynamic properties (isochores, isotherms, isobars, response functions, velocity of sound) of a quantum gas in dimensions D ⩾ 1 and with fractional exclusion statistics 0 ⩽ g ⩽ 1 connecting bosons (g = 0) and fermions (g = 1). In D = 1 the results are equivalent to those of the Calogero-Sutherland model. Emphasis is given to the crossover between bosonlike and fermionlike features, caused by aspects of the statistical interaction that mimic long-range attraction and short-range repulsion. A phase transition along the isobar occurs at a nonzero temperature in all dimensions. The T dependence of the velocity of sound is in simple relation to isochores and isobars. The effects of soft container walls are accounted for rigorously for the case of a pure power-law potential
