The notions of fractional charge as well as fractional statistics can be interpreted by a topological interaction of infinite range. So it is natural to find in Les Houches series a school devoted to quantum Hall physics, intermediate statistics and Chern-Simons theory.
Polymer physics is also related to topology.
In this field, topological constraints may be described by concepts from knot theory and statistical physics. Hence this session also included Brownian motion theory related to knot theory.
