A topological spin-statistics theorem or a use of the antiparticle
A spin-statistics theorem for spinning particles in d is proved without using relativity or field theory, but assuming the existence of antiparticles. The theorem excludes nonabelian statistics such as parastatistics of order 2 and more for d ⩾ 3 and statistics based on nonabelian representations of the braid groups for …
