摘要
In studying a quantum field theory with fractional statistics, a careful treatment of a multivalued function is needed. In this reply, it is argued that the inconsistency which was claimed by Hagen is not valid. In particular, we show how to treat a distribution function, which is defined by using the multivalued function. A systematic way to treat such a multivalued function is to formulate the theory on a covering space so that we can deal with it as a single-valued function.
