A systematic introduction which considers the subject of anyons from different points of view. In particular, the author presents the relation of anyons to braid groups and Chern-Simons field theory. Three chapters are devoted to physical applications.
Particles with fractional statistics interpolating between bosons and fermions have attracted the considerable interest of mathematical physicists. In recent years it has emerged that these so-called anyons have rather unexpected applications in condensed matter physics, such as the fractional Hall effect, anyonic excitations in films of liquid helium, and high-temperature superconductivity. Furthermore, they are discussed also in the context of conformal field theories. This book is a systematic and pedagogical introduction that considers the subject of anyons from many different points of view. In particular, the author presents the relation of anyons to braid groups and Chern-Simons field theory and devotes three chapters to physical applications. The book addresses researchers as well as advanced students of mathematics and physics.
