Abstract

We discuss the inequivalent quantization of a physical system with a configuration space which is a certain orbit space of the Coxeter group. The framework for the generalization of the anyon is given. Also, we construct a gauge field whose holonomy gives rise to the statistical factor of the corresponding anyon.
