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.
