Plekton
In
physics, a
plekton is a hypothetical kind of
elementary particle, which would obey a different style of
statistics with respect to the interchange of
identical particles. That is, it would be neither a
boson nor a
fermion, but subject to a
braid statistics. Such particles have been discussed as a generalization of the
braid characteristics of the
anyon to
dimension > 2.
