摘要：

Using the braid-group formalism we study the consequences of gauge invariance for fractionally charged anyonic quasiparticles in a two-dimensional multiply connected system. It is shown that gauge invariance requires multicomponent wave functions, and leads to the emergence of a hidden topological Z(n) symmetry with associated quantum number and unavoidable occurrence of level crossings for many-body eigenstates. In certain situations, it relates the fractional charge to anyon statistics. The implications for the the fractional quantum Hall effect are also discussed.
