✦ Synopsis

Particles With Fractional Statistics Interpolating Between Bosons And Fermions Have Attracted Considerable Interest From Mathematical Physicists. In Recent Years It Has Emerged That These So-called Anyons Have Rather Unexpected Applications, Such As The Fractional Hall Effect, Anyonic Excitations In Films Of Liquid Helium, And High-temrperature 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, While Being Of Interest To Researchers, Primarily Addresses Advanced Students Of Mathematics And Physics.
