Boundary Effects in 2+1 Dimensional Maxwell-chern-simons Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The boundary effects in the screening of an applied magnetic field in a finite temperature 2+1 dimensional model of charged fermions minimally coupled to Maxwell and Chern-Simons fields are investigated. It is found that in a sample with only one boundary -a half-planea total Meissner effect takes place, while in a sample with two boundaries -an infinite stripthe external magnetic field partially penetrates the material. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

Maxwell-Chern-Simons Casimir effect.
In odd-dimensional spaces, gauge invariance permits a Chern-Simons mass term for the gauge fields in addition to the usual Maxwell-Yang-Mills kinetic energy term. We study the Casimir effect in such a (2+1)-dimensional Abelian theory. For the case of parallel conducting lines the result is the same as for a scalar field. For the case of circular boundary conditions the results are completely di...
متن کاملSolitons in 2+1 Dimensional Non-Commutative Maxwell Chern-Simons Higgs Theories
We find soliton solutions in the 2+1 dimensional non-commutative Maxwell Chern-Simons Higgs theories. In the limit of the Chern-Simons coefficient going to zero, these solutions go over to the previously found solutions in the non-commutative Maxwell Higgs theories. The new solutions may have relevance in the theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect and possibly in string vacua correspondin...
متن کامل2 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 کاملHeat Kernel Coefficients for Chern-Simons Boundary Conditions in QED
We consider the four dimensional Euclidean Maxwell theory with a Chern–Simons term on the boundary. The corresponding gauge invariant boundary conditions become dependent on tangential derivatives. Taking the four-sphere as a particular example, we calculate explicitly a number of the first heat kernel coefficients and obtain the general formulas that yields any desired coefficient. A remarkabl...
متن کاملDilaton gravity (with a Gauss-Bonnet term) derived from five-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity
We study the problem of boundary terms and boundary conditions for Chern-Simons gravity in five dimensions. We show that under reasonable boundary conditions one finds an effective field theory at the four-dimensional boundary described by dilaton gravity with a Gauss-Bonnet term. The coupling of matter is also discussed. The existing link between three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory and two-d...
