Dynamical Effects of Chern-Simons Term

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study how the Chern-Simons term effects the dynamically generated fermion mass in (2+1)D(2+1)D Quantum Electrodynamics in the framework of large NN expansion. We find that when the Chern-Simons term is present half of the fermions get mass M+mM+m and half get MmM-m. The parity-preserving mass mm is generated only when N<N~cN<\tilde{N}_c. Both the critical number, N~c\tilde{N}_c, of fermion flavor and the magnitude, mm, reduce when the effect of the Chern-Simons term dominates.
