These excitations can be deconfined at zero temperature, but when they are, the charge re-rationalizes to the value 1/2 and the exchange statistics to that of "quartons" (half-semions).4 pages, 2 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsHigh Energy Physics - TheoryMathematical PhysicsIrrational vs. rational charge and statistics in two-dimensional quantum systemstext
