Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0723.00031.] This paper represents a review about physics in 3-dimensional space-time. Especially the possibility of introducing a Chern-Simons term into the Lagrangian and its consequences are investigated. The single topics treated in this paper are: topologically massive gauge theories, non- Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theories, abelian Chern-Simons gauge theories with sources, quantum holonomy, anomalous statistics and spin of charged particles, point particles with abelian Chern-Simons gauge-fields, quantum dynamics, planar gravity including classical space-times and quantum dynamics as well as topological elaborations.
