Two identical one-dimensional anyons with zero-range interactions: Exchange statistics, scattering theory, and anyon-anyon mapping

While elementary particles obey either bosonic or fermionic exchange statistics, generalized exchange statistics that interpolate between bosons and fermions---applicable to quasiparticles---constitute an intriguing topic from both the fundamental and practical points of view. This work develops a scattering framework for two identical one-dimensional (1D) bosonic anyons and two identical 1D fermionic anyons with zero-range contact interactions. The two-body system with zero-range interactions, in both free space and under external confinement, is used to illustrate the recently proposed bosonic-anyon---fermionic-anyon mapping (R. Hidalgo-Sacoto et al., Phys. Rev. A 112, 063309 (2025)), which connects the eigenstates of bosonic anyons to those of fermionic anyons and vice versa. Performing explicit calculations for two-particle systems, the momentum distributions and the off-diagonal correlations of the single-particle density matrix for bosonic anyons and fermionic anyons are confirmed to be distinct. We also confirm the previously derived asymptotic coefficients of the momentum distribution tail at orders ${k}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ and ${k}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ for two harmonically confined anyons. Nonuniversal contributions at order ${k}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ are discussed.
