Vacuum Instability in Topologically Massive Gauge Theory
We find the critical charge for a topologically massive gauge theory for any gauge group, generalising our earlier result for SU(2). The relation between critical charges in TMGT, singular vectors in the WZNW model and logarithmic CFT is investigated.
متن کاملMassive , Topologically Massive , Models
In three dimensions, there are two distinct mass-generating mechanisms for gauge vector and tensor fields: adding the usual Proca/Pauli-Fierz, or the more esoteric Chern-Simons (CS), terms. Here, we analyze the three-term models where both types are present, and their various limits. Surprisingly, in the tensor case, these seemingly innocuous systems are physically unacceptable. If the sign of ...
متن کاملSelf-Duality of a Topologically Massive Born-Infeld Theory
We consider self-duality in a 2 + 1 dimensional gauge theory containing both the Born-Infeld and the Chern-Simons terms. We introduce a Born-Infeld inspired generalization of the Proca term and show that the corresponding model is equivalent to the Born-Infeld-Chern-Simons model. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] 1 Many years ago Townsend et. al. studied self-duality in gauge...
متن کاملTopologically Massive Gauge Theory with O ( 2 ) Symmetry
We discuss the structure of the vacua in O(2) topologically massive gauge theory on a torus. Since O(2) has two connected components, there are four classical vacua. The different vacua impose different boundary conditions on the gauge potentials. We also discuss the non-perturbative transitions between the vacua induced by vortices of the theory. 11.15.Ex, 11.15.Kc. ∗On leave of absence from I...
متن کاملThe Two Phases of Topologically Massive Compact U ( 1 ) Theory
The mean field like gauge invariant variational method formulated recently, is applied to a topologically massive QED in 3 dimensions. We find that the theory has a phase transition in the Chern Simons coefficient n. The phase transition is of the BerezinskyKosterlitz Thouless type, and is triggered by the liberation of Polyakov monopoles, which for n > 8 are tightly bound into pairs. In our Ha...
