The statistics transmuting Chern-Simons field and the braid group on Riemann surfaces of genus g>0
Abstract
We study bosons interacting with an abelian Chern-Simons field on Riemann surfaces of genus g>0. It is shown that a singular gauge transformation brings the hamiltonian to free form. The transformed wave functions furnish a multi-component representation of the braid group studied by Imbo and March-Russell. The construction constitutes a proof of the equivalence of bosons coupled to a Chern-Simons field and anyons and generalizes the well known equivalence of the two pictures on the plane.
