The braid group, representations and non-abelian anyons

This bachelor’s thesis concerns unitary linear representations of the braid group, motivated by their connection to two dimensional particle statistics and certain quasi-particles called non-abelian anyons. Particle statistics in two dimensions is related to the braid group via the fundamental group...
