Nonlocal scalar electrodynamics from Chern-Simons theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

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, this theory reduces to a pure scalar theory with nonlocal interaction. Several scattering processes are studied and the cross sections are calculated.
