Some questions about anyons?
(1) As we know, we have theories of second quantization for both bosons and fermions. That is, let $W_N$ be the $N$ identical particle Hilbert space of bosons or fermions, then the "many particle" ...

Is it possible to make statements about bosonic/fermionic systems by taking the limit $\theta\to \pi$ or $\theta\to 0$, of an anyonic system?
One might naïvely write the (anti-)commutation relations for bosonic/fermionic ladder operators as limits
$$
\delta_{k,\ell} = \bigl[ \hat{b}_{k}, \hat{b}_{\ell}^\dagger \bigr]
= ...

Fractional statistics
A common way to show that anyons exhibit fractional statistics in 2D is by arguing that the paths of two anyons winding round each other cannot be continuously deformed to zero. This seems to assume ...
