Dimensional transmutation and symmetry breaking in Maxwell-Chern-Simons scalar QED
نویسنده
چکیده
The mechanism of dimensional transmutation is discussed in the context of Maxwell-Chern-Simons scalar QED. The method used is non-perturbative. The effective potential describes a broken symmetry state. It is found that the symmetry breaking vacuum is more stable when the Chern-Simons mass is different from zero.

2+1 dimensional massless scalar QED with (φ * φ) 3 scalar self-coupling is modified by the addition of a non-minimal Chern-Simons term that couples the dual of the electromagnetic field strength to the covariant current of the complex scalar field. The theory is shown to be fully one-loop renormalizable. The one loop effective potential for the scalar field gives rise to spontaneous symmetry br...
متن کاملTwo-loop Quantum Corrections of Scalar QED with Non-minimal Chern-Simons Coupling
We investigate two-loop quantum corrections to non-minimally coupled Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The non-minimal gauge interaction represents the magnetic moment interaction between the charged scalar and the electromagnetic field. We show that one-loop renormalizability of the theory found in previous work does not survive to two-loop level. However, with an appropriate choice of the non-mini...
متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking for Scalar QED with Non-minimal Chern-Simons Coupling
We investigate the two-loop effective potential for both minimally and nonminimally coupled Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories. The non-minimal gauge interaction represents the magnetic moment interaction between a charged scalar and the electromagnetic field. In a previous paper we have shown that the two loop effective potential for this model is renormalizable with an appropriate choice of the no...
متن کامل2 Maxwell - Chern - Simons - Higgs Mechanism in the Schrödinger Representation
This paper discusses the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Schrödinger representation formulation of quantum field theory. The analysis is presented for three-dimensional space-time abelian gauge theories with either Maxwell, Maxwell-Chern-Simons, or pure Chern-Simons terms as the gauge field contribution to the action, each of which leads to a different form of mass generation...
متن کاملFirst-order phase transition in three-dimensional QED with Chern-Simons term.
We have studied the chiral phase transition in three-dimensional QED in the presence of a Chern–Simons term for the gauge field. There exists a phase where the chiral symmetry is broken dynamically and we have determined the critical line for this symmetry breaking as a function of the effective coupling and the strength of the additional Chern–Simons term. In the presence of a Chern–Simons ter...
