On spin-1 massive particles coupled to a Chern-Simons field
نویسنده
چکیده
We study spin one particles interacting through a Chern-Simons field. In the Born approximation, we calculate the two body scattering amplitude considering three possible ways to introduce the interaction: (a) a Proca like model minimally coupled to a Chern-Simons field, (b) the model obtained from (a) by replacing the Proca’s mass by a Chern-Simons term and (c) a complex Maxwell-Chern-Simons model minimally coupled to a Chern-Simons field. In the low energy regime the results show similarities with the Aharonov-Bohm scattering for spin 1/2 particles. We discuss the one loop renormalization program for the Proca’s model. In spite of the bad ultraviolet behavior of the matter field propagator, we show that, up to one loop the model is power counting renormalizable thanks to the Ward identities satisfied by the interaction vertices.

The anyonic behaviour of massive spinning point particles coupled to linearized massive vector Chern-Simons gravity is studied. This model constitutes the uniform spin-2 generalization of the vector model formed by coupling charged point particles to the topological massive Maxwell-CS action. It turns out that, for this model, the linearized first order triadic Chern-Simons term is the source o...
متن کاملThermodynamics of relativistic fermions with Chern-Simons coupling.
We study the thermodynamics of the relativistic Quantum Field Theory of massive fermions in three space-time dimensions coupled to an Abelian Maxwell-Chern-Simons gauge field. We evaluate the specific heat at finite temperature and density and find that the variation with the statistical angle is consistent with the non-relativistic ideas on generalized statistics. 11.15.-q, 11.10.Wx, 11.10.Kk ...
متن کاملBoundary conditions and symplectic structure in the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity
We propose a description of open universes in the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)dimensional gravity where spatial infinity is implemented as a puncture. At this puncture, additional variables are introduced which lie in the cotangent bundle of the Poincaré group, and coupled minimally to the Chern-Simons gauge field. We apply this description of spatial infinity to open universes of general ...
متن کاملThe path integral for Chern-Simons quantum mechanics
The path integral representation for a system of N non-relativistic particles on the plane, interacting through a Chern-Simons gauge field, is obtained from the operator formalism. An effective interaction between the particles appears, generating the usual Aharonov-Bohm phases. The spin-statistics relation is also considered.

متن کاملPauli’s Term and Fractional Spin
In this work we consider an Abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model coupled non-minimally to matter fields. This coupling is implemented by means of a Pauli-type coupling. We show that the Pauli term is sufficient to gives rise to fractional spin. PACS numbers: 11.15.-q, 11.10.Ef, 11.10.Kk, 11.30.-j The fractional statistics [1] with its theoretical and applicable consequences plays an interesting int...
