The contribution of explicit field terms appearing in the Lagrangian (Chern-Simons and θ-terms) to calculation particle statistics is analyzed. Chern-Simons term halves current-field coupling 2 + 1 dimensions. effect θ-term 3 dimensions contrasted. In both cases, observational differences between fundamental induced charges arise. factor 1/2 necessary reconcile Paranjape's result on angular momentum (L = 1/4) a vortex minimal massive QED with general spin-statistics connection. Issues related (non)screening statistical interaction, ultraviolet sensitivity statistics, duality quantized Hall are mentioned. It shown passing that quite harmless-looking theories generically contain particles exotic statistics.
