Abstract
We present a new formulation of Chern-Simons theory on a three-dimensional lattice, with either the linear gauge group R or the finite cyclic gauge group Z N. By coupling extended objects called dumb-bells to the lattice Chern-Simons field, we obtain a model exhibiting fractional statistics in the continuum limit. Internal dumb-bell angular momenta take values consistent with their statistics. The Z N-model has a gauge-decoupled condensate. Either model can admit a Maxwell term.
