The occurrence of fractional statistics has been discovered in more
and more quantum field theory models, including some of the most
geometrical and canonical ones. In a remarkable case, the
fractional quantum statistics of quasiparticles in the fractional
quantized Hall effect (FQHE) contributes to the understanding of
states found there. Very recent work has indicated that similar
possibilities arise for two-dimensional films in certain states of
liquid 3He. Perhaps most exciting, although quite speculative at
this moment, are recent attempts to apply fractional statistics to
spin systems, and specifically to the behaviour of the
2-dimensional copper oxide layers that seem to be critical to the
phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity. It has recently
been shown that fractional statistics automatically implies
superconductivity of a qualitatively new kind. This collection of
reprints with comprehensive commentary will serve as a valuable
reference for those interested in the subject but have found it
difficult to acquire basic knowledge, or a coherent view of the
whole, due to the scattered literature available at present.
