Higher dimensional generalization of anyons

Fractionalized excitations as point particles can be bosons, fermions or anyons in

2+1 spacetime dimensions. It is known that point particles can be only either
bosons or fermions in 3+1 and higher spacetime dimensions. However, the loop (or
string) or membrane like excitations are extended objects can have fractionalized
statistics. Current research works show that the loop and string like excitations
exist for topological orders in the 3+1 dimensional spacetime, and their multi-
loop/string-braiding statistics are the key signatures for identifying 3+1
dimensional topological orders. [17] [18] [19] The multi-loop/string-braiding
statistics of 3+1 dimensional topological orders can be captured by the link
invariants of particular topological quantum field theories in 4 spacetime
dimensions.[19] Explained in a colloquial manner, the extended objects (loop,
string, or membrane, etc.) can be potentially anyonic in 3+1 and higher spacetime
dimensions in the long-range entangled systems.
