Spin of Chern-simons Vortices
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a novel method of obtaining the fractional spin of abelian and nonabelian Chern-Simons vortices. This spin is interpreted as the difference between the angular momentum obtained by modifying Schwinger’s energy momentum tensor by the Gauss constraint, and the canonical (Noether) angular momentum. It is found to be a boundary term depending only on the gauge field and, hence, is independent of the matter sector to which the Chern-Simons term couples. Addition of the Maxwell term does not alter the fractional spin. [email protected]

The non-relativistic 'Dirac' equation of Lévy-Leblond is used to describe a spin 1/2 particle interacting with a Chern-Simons gauge field. Static, purely magnetic, self-dual spinor vortices are constructed. The solution can be 'exported' to a uniform magnetic background field.

It is shown that the non-relativistic 'Dirac' equation of Lévy-Leblond, we used recently to describe a spin 1 2 field interacting non-relativistically with a Chern-Simons gauge field, can be obtained by lightlike reduction from 3 + 1 dimensions. This allows us to prove that the system is Schrödinger symmetric. A spinor representation of the Schrödinger group is presented. Static, self-dual solu...
متن کاملDoped kagome system as exotic superconductor
A Chern-Simons theory for the doped spin-1/2 kagome system is constructed, from which it is shown that the system is an exotic superconductor that breaks time-reversal symmetry. It is also shown that the system carries minimal vortices of flux hc /4e as opposed to the usual hc /2e in conventional superconductors and contains fractional quasiparticles including fermionic quasiparticles with semi...
متن کاملVortices in (abelian) Chern-Simons gauge theory
The vortex solutions of various classical planar field theories with (abelian) Chern-Simons term are reviewed. Relativistic vortices, put forward by Paul and Khare, arise when the Abelian Higgs model is augmented with the Chern-Simons term. Adding a suitable sixth-order potential and turning off the Maxwell term provides us with pure Chern-Simons theory with both topological and non-topological...
متن کاملVortex dynamics in self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems.
We consider vortex dynamics in self-dual Chern-Simons Higgs systems. We show that the naive Aharanov-Bohm phase is the inverse of the statistical phase expected from the vortex spin, and that the self-dual configurations of vortices are degenerate in energy but not in angular momentum. We also use the path integral formalism to derive the dual formulation of Chern-Simons Higgs systems in which ...
