Zero modes of the Dirac operator in three dimensions

Abstract

We investigate zero modes of the Dirac operator coupled to an Abelian gauge field in three dimensions. We find that the existence of a certain class of zero modes is related to a specific topological property precisely when the requirement of finite Chern--Simons action is imposed.

13 pages, 6 figures, uses the macro psbox.tex, replaced by a revised version to be published in Phys. Rev. D. The section on the Seiberg-Witten equations, which contained a sign error, has been removed. This removal leads to further issues which will appear in a future publication
