Two - loop Finiteness of Chern - Simons Theory in Background Field Method
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform two-loop calculation of Chern-Simons in background field method using the hybrid regularization of higher-covariant derivative and dimensional regularization. It is explicitly shown that Chern-Simons field theory is finite at the two-loop level. This finiteness plays an important role in the relation of Chern-Simons theory with two-dimensional conformal field theory and the description of link invariant.

Two Loop Finiteness of Chern-Simons Field Theory in Background Field Method
Two-loop calculation of Chern-Simons field theory in background field method is performed. It is explictly shown that the pole terms cancel exactly and hence two-loop finiteness of Chern-Simons field theory is verified.
متن کاملTwo-loop analysis of non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory.
Perturbative renormalization of a non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory is examined. It is demonstrated by explicit calculation that, in the pure ChernSimons theory, the beta-function for the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term vanishes to three loop order. Both dimensional regularization and regularization by introducing a conventional Yang-Mills component in the action are used. It is shown ...

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...

We calculate by the method of dimensional regularization and derivative expansion the one-loop effective action for a Dirac fermion with a Lorentz-violating and PCT-odd kinetic term in the background of a gauge field. We show that this term induces a Chern-Simons modification to Maxwell theory. Some related issues are also discussed.
