Maxwell Chern Simons Theory in a Geometric Representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We quantize the Maxwell Chern Simons theory in a geometric representation that generalizes the Abelian Loop Representation of Maxwell theory. We find that in the physical sector, the model can be seen as the theory of a massles scalar field with a topological interaction that enforces the wave functional to be multivalued. This feature allows to relate the Maxwell Chern Simons theory with the quantum mechanics of particles interacting through a Chern Simons field.

2 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 کاملAnyons, ’t Hooft loops and a Generalized Connection in Three Dimensions
We consider a generalized connection in three dimensions and show that it emerges in Chern-Simons-Maxwell theories when one studies the disorder instanton operator. We generalized this construction to non-Abelian theories and find that the disorder operator (the ’t Hooft operator) is equivalent to a generalized Wilson loop in a representation that depends on the Chern-Simons term. We speculate ...

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 کاملAnomalous Magnetic Moment of Electron in Chern-Simons QED
We calculate the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron in the Chern-Simons theory in 2 + 1 dimensions with and without a Maxwell term, both at zero temperature as well as at finite temperature. In the case of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons (MCS) theory, we find that there is an infrared divergence, both at zero as well as at finite temperature, when the tree level Chern-Simons term vanishes, whic...
