Canonical Analysis of the First Order Form of Topologically Massive Electrodynamics

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The first order form of a three dimensional U(1) gauge theory in which a gauge invariant mass term appears is analyzed using the Dirac procedure. The form of the gauge transformation which leaves the action invariant is derived from the constraints present.
