Chern-Simons Gauge Theory coupled with BF Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We couple three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory with BF theory and study deformations of the theory by means of the antifield BRST formalism. We analyze all possible consistent interaction terms for the action under physical requirements and find a new topological field theory in three dimension with new nontrivial terms and a nontrivial gauge symmetry. We consider a geometric interpretation of this theory. ∗ E-mail address: [email protected]

Starting from a D = 3, N = 4 supersymmetric theory for matter fields, a twist with a Grassmann parity change is defined which maps the theory into a gauge fixed, abelian BF theory on curved 3-manifolds. After adding surface terms to this theory, the twist is seen to map the resulting supersymmetric action to two uncoupled copies of the gauge fixed Chern-Simons action. In addition, we give a map...

We construct PCT-invariant Maxwell-Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to fermions with adding the parity partner to the matter and the gauge fields, which can give nontopological vortex solutions depending on the sign of the Chern-Simons coupling constant.

متن کاملChern-Simons Term for BF Theory and Gravity as a Generalized Topological Field Theory in Four Dimensions
Using the Generalized Differential Calculus, we establish the generalized Chern-Weil homomormism, re-derive the geometric properties for both P (M4, G) and pseudo-Riemannian spacetime manifolds from BF theories, and obtain the generalized Chern-Simons term for BF theory in four dimensions. It gives a direct relation between these two types of topological field theories. We then obtain the BF gr...

We present the one-loop scalar field effective potential for the N = 2 supersymmetric nonrelativistic self-interacting matter fields coupled to an Abelian Chern-Simons gauge field and for its generalization when bosonic matter fields are coupled to non-Abelian Chern-Simons field. In both models, Gauss’s law linearly relates the magnetic field to the matter field densities; hence, we also includ...
