Abstract: (Elsevier)
A (2+1)-dimensional theory of charged scalar particles coupled to an abelian gauge field with Chern-Simons term in the action is canonically quantized in the Coulomb and superaxial gauges. The gauge transformation linking these two gauges is shown to be singular. Then, the superaxial gauge excitations are found to obey fractional statistics. We demonstrate that this effect does not arise when the conventional term −1/4 F μν F μν is present in the action.- GAUGE FIELD THEORY: THREE-DIMENSIONAL
