Abstract
We show that the Chern-Simons theory coupled to complex scalars can be consistently quantized in the Hamiltonian formalism without gauge constraints. A new structure of the anyon operator displaying fractional spin and statistics follows logically from our analysis without any ad hoc assumptions.Keywords
