We show that the assumption of quasiperiodic boundary conditions (those that interpolate continuously periodic and antiperiodic conditions) in order to compute partition functions of relativistic particles in 2+1 space–time can be related with anyonic physics. In particular, in the low temperature limit, our result leads to the well-known second virial coefficient for anyons. Besides, we also obtain the high temperature limit as well as the full temperature dependence of this coefficient.

We consider the simplest SU q(2) invariant fermionic Hamiltonian and calculate the low and high temperature behavior for the two distinct cases q>1 and q<1. For low temperatures we find that entropy values for the Fermi case are an upper bound for those corresponding to q≠1. At high temperatures we find that the sign of the second virial coefficient depends on q, and vanishes at q=1.96. An important consequence of this fact is that the parameter q connects the fermionic and bosonic regions, showing therefore that SU q(2) fermions exhibit fractional statistics in three spatial dimensions.
