| Summary: | Quasihole excitations in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems exhibit
fractional statistics and fractional spin, but how the spin-statistics relation
emerges from many-body physics remains poorly understood. Here we prove a
spin-statistics relation using only FQH wave functions, on both the sphere and
disk geometry. In particular, the proof on the disk generalizes to all
quasiholes in realistic systems, which have a finite size and could be deformed
into arbitrary shapes. Different components of the quasihole spins are linked
to different conformal Hilbert spaces (CHS), which are nullspaces of model
Hamiltonians that host the respective FQH ground states and quasihole states.
Understanding how the intrinsic spin of the quasiholes is linked to different
CHS is crucial for the generalized spin-statistics relation that takes into
account the effect of metric deformation. In terms of the experimental
relevance, this enables us to study the effect of deformation and disorder that
introduces an additional source of Berry curvature, an aspect of anyon braiding
that has been largely neglected in previous literature.
