We study the effect of a Chern-Simons (CS) term in the phase structure of two different Abelian gauge theories. For the compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory, we obtain that for values $g=n/2\pi$ of the CS coupling with $n=\pm 1,\pm 2$, the…
We propose a new "Hamiltonian inspired" covariant formula to define (without harmful ambiguities) the superpotential and the physical charges associated to a gauge symmetry. The criterion requires the variation of the Noether current not to…

Possible superconductivity of electrons with the Dirac spectrum is analyzed using the BCS model. We calculate the critical temperature, the superconducting energy gap, and supercurrent as functions of the doping level and of the pairing…
We examine the thermal behavior of a relativistic anyon system, dynamically realized by coupling a charged massive spin-1 field to a Chern-Simons gauge field. We calculate the free energy (to the next leading order), from which all…
We show that when the Abelian \CS\ theory coupled to matter fields is quantized in a vacuum with non vanishing magnetic flux (or electric charge), the requirement of gauge invariance at finite temperature leads to the quantization of the…
We present the exact numerical solutions for the Schwinger-Dyson equations at finite temperature with general gauge in Abelian gauge theory. We then study the chiral phase transition on temperature from the obtained solutions. We find that,…

In odd-dimensional spaces, gauge invariance permits a Chern-Simons mass term for the gauge fields in addition to the usual Maxwell-Yang-Mills kinetic energy term. We study the Casimir effect in such a (2+1)-dimensional Abelian theory. For…
