We show that an effective Abelian gauge theory can be obtained as a renormalizable theory from QCD in the maximal Abelian gauge. The derivation improves in a systematic manner the previous version that was obtained by one of the authors and…
We present a self-dual parity-invariant $U(1) \times U(1)$ Maxwell-Chern-Simons scalar $\text{QED}_3$. We show that the energy functional admits a Bogomol'nyi-type lower bound, whose saturation gives rise to first order self-duality…
