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…
There are two natural Chern-Simons theories associated with the embedding of a three-dimensional surface in Euclidean space; one is constructed using the induced metric connection -- it involves only the intrinsic geometry, the other is…
Though a Chern-Simons (2k-1)-form is not gauge-invariant and it depends on a background connection, this form seen as a Lagrangian of gauge theory on a (2k-1)-dimensional manifold leads to the energy-momentum conservation law.
We extend topologically massive electrodynamics, both by adding a higher derivative action to cast the entire three-term model in Chern-Simons (CS) form, and by embedding it in an AdS background. It can then be written as the sum of two CS…
It has been shown that the mechanism of formation of glue-bags in the strong coupling limit of Yang-Mills theory can be understood in terms of the dynamics of a higher-rank abelian gauge field, namely, the 3-form dual to the Chern-Simons…
In the pseudo-euclidean metrics Chern-Simons gauge theory in the infrared region is found to be associated with dissipative dynamics. In the infrared limit the Lagrangian of 2+1 dimensional pseudo-euclidean topologically massive…
The theory of a complex scalar interacting with a pure Chern-Simons gauge field is quantized canonically. Dynamical and nondynamical variables are separated in a gauge-independent way. In the physical subspace of the full Hilbert space,…
