The problem of the non-standard statistics for one-, two- and three-dimensional systems of N identical particles on various manifolds is reviewed in terms of the braid group theory. The braid groups together with their unitary representations are studied for the line, circle, plane, sphere, torus and the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Nonequivalent quantizations of several physical systems are presented.
