High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study the SU(N)SU(N) self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems with adjoint matter coupling, and show that the sixth order self-dual potential has p(N)p(N) gauge inequivalent degenerate minima, where p(N)p(N) is the number of partitions of NN. We compute the masses of the gauge and scalar excitations in these different vacua, revealing an intricate mass structure which reflects the self-dual nature of the model.
