Abstract
Using the theory of supersymmetric anyons, I extend the definition of the Witten index to 2+1 dimensions so as to accommodate the existence of anyon spin and statistics. I then demonstrate that, although in general the index receives irrational and complex contributions from anyonic states, the overall index is always integral, and I consider some of the implications and interpretations of this result.
