Abstract

We introduce the notion of a braided group. This is analogous to a supergroup with Bose-Fermi statistics ±1 replaced by braid statistics. We show that every algebraic quantum field theory in two dimensions leads to a braided group of internal symmetries. Every quantum group can be viewed as a braided group.
