A biased semi-historical introduction to parafermionic fields in statistical physics
Appears in collection : 8ème Séminaire Itzykson : "Les observables parafermioniques et la physique statistique en 2D"
Starting from Kadanoff's and Ceva's construction, I will present an elementary introduction to different reincarnations of parafermionic observables and fields in statistical models and their relationships with braid group representations, quantum group symmetries, integrability and holomorphicity.
