Abstract
The anyon mean-field approximation (MFA) is tested by computing the band structure of a charged particle in an infinite two-dimensional square lattice of infinitesimal flux tubes. The band structure and density of states are compared with the MFA and found to be in agreement for=1/n, with n>3. For =1/2 and 1/3, there is no gap, unlike the MFA which predicts a gap. For =m/n (with m>1), there is a gap, opening up the possibility that a superfluid may form for any rational value of the statistical parameter. A physical realization of the =1/2 flux lattice is proposed and a connection between the =m/n lattice and the fractional quantum Hall effect is discussed. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
