Comment on "Anyon in an external electromagnetic field: Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations"

Abstract

In their recent letter, Chaichian et.~al. present a Lagrangian for a massive ($m$) point particle on the plane, with which they claim to realize anyon statistics. However, we find that there are some inaccuracies in their formulation and, when these are taken care of, well-known results are reproduced, which already exist in the literature.
