The effect of a topological gauge field on Bose-Einstein condensation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1 Condensed Matter

Abstract

We show that Bose-Einstein condensation of charged scalar fields interacting with a topological gauge field at finite temperature is inhibited except for special values of the topological field. We also show that fermions interacting with this topological gauge field can condense for some values of the gauge field.
