Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of higher order Chern-Simons theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider models involving the higher (third) derivative extension of the abelian Chern-Simons (CS) topological term in D=2+1 dimensions. The polarisation vectors in these models reveal an identical structure with the corresponding expressions for usual models which contain, at most, quadratic structures. We also investigate the Hamiltonian structure of these models and show how Wigner’s little group acts as gauge generator. ∗e-mail: [email protected]

Quantization of gl(1,R) Generalized Chern-Simons Theory in 1+1 Dimensions
We present a quantization of previously proposed generalized Chern-Simons theory with gl(1,R) algebra in 1+1 dimensions. This simplest model shares the common features of generalized CS theories: on-shell reducibility and violations of regularity. On-shell reducibility of the theory requires us to use the Lagrangian Batalin-Vilkovisky and/or Hamiltonian Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky formulation. S...
متن کاملJu n 20 01 UNIFIED STUDY OF PLANAR FIELD THEORIES
A " Master " gauge theory is constructed in 2+1-dimensions through which various gauge invariant and gauge non-invariant theories can be studied. In particular, Maxwell-Chern-Simons, Maxwell-Proca and Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Proca models are considered here. The Master theory in an enlarged phase space is constructed both in Lagrangian (Stuckelberg) and Hamiltonian (Batalin-Tyutin) frameworks, the...
متن کاملOn Superpotentials and Charge Algebras of Gauge Theories
We propose a new “Hamiltonian inspired” covariant formula to define the superpotential of a gauge symmetry, and the physical charges associated to it. This follows from the similarities which exist between the canonical formalism and the cascade equation techniques. Following the Hamiltonian formalism, the idea is to require the variation of the Noether current to be “well defined” in a sens to...
متن کاملAxion gauge symmetries and generalized Chern – Simons terms in N = 1 supersymmetric theories
We compute the extension of the Lagrangian of N = 1 supersymmetric theories to the case in which some axion symmetries are gauged. It turns out that generalized Chern–Simons terms appear that were not considered in previous superspace formulations of general N = 1 theories. Such gaugings appear in supergravities arising from flux compactifications of superstrings, as well as from Scherk–Schwarz...
متن کاملNoncommutative Chern-simons Soliton
We have studied the noncommutative extension of the relativistic Chern-Simons-Higgs model, in the first non-trivial order in θ, with only spatial noncommutativity. Both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of the problem have been discussed, with the focus being on the canonical and symmetric forms of the energy-momentum tensor. In the Hamiltonian scheme, constraint analysis and the induced ...
