Abstract

We use supersymmetric quantum mechanics to show that the spectrum of three anyons in a harmonic potential exhibits an almost complete mirror symmetry about semions. Barring a subset of exactly solved states, all states come in pairs such that the energy of one state with the statistics parameter θ is equal to the energy of its partner state at π-θ. Bosons, semions, and fermions have θ=0,π/2, and π, respectively. From this, we show that the third virial coefficient of an ideal anyon gas is exactly mirror symmetric about semions.
