Topological field theories and fractional statistics

We examine the problem of determining which representations of the braid group on a Riemann surface are carried by the wave function of a quantized Abelian Chern-Simons theory interacting with non-dynamical matter. We generalize the quantization of Chern-Simons theory to the case where the coefficie...
