Parafermions in plain sight

Abstract:We show that for any potential with a discrete energy spectrum, the well-known interpolation between ideal boson and fermion partition functions at discrete values of $\xi=-1/m$ yielded zero temperature ground state energies corresponding to $m$ fermions occupying a single quantum state. The grand canonical partition function in this case can be a result from genuine parastatistics.
