We show, using path integral methods, that a complex scalar field in 2+1 dimensions coupled to an abelian gauge field with Chern-Simons action is equivalent to a free Dirac fermion. We show the equivalence of the vacuum functional and construct the fermion fields explicitly. Our proof is independent of the long wavelength approximation.

We show the partition function of self-interacting charged scalar fields coupled with Abelian gauge fields governed by Maxwell-Chern-Simons action is equivalent in the long-wavelength approximation to that of a massive four-Fermi theory. The coupling constants and mass of the fermionic theory is explicitly related to those of the bosonic theory. The gauge invariant charged scalar current is shown to be transmuted to fermion current. The physical mass of the fermion is computed at the mean field level and shown to be finite at large self-coupling.

Theoretical Results

AbstractIn the article, the effects of the thermal viscosity and magnetohydrodynamic on the peristalsis of nanofluid are analyzed. The dominant neutralization is deduced through long wavelength approximation. The analytical solution of velocity and temperature is extracted by using steady perturbation. The pressure gradient and friction forces are obtained. Numerical results are calculated and contrasted with the debated theoretical results. These results are calculated for various values of Hartmann number, variable viscosity parameter and amplitude ratio. It is observed that the pressure gradient is reduced with an increase in the thermal viscosity parameter and that the Hartmann number enhances the pressure difference.

Nominal Load

Tensile stability of healthy medial arterial tissue and its constituents, subject to initial geometrical and/or material imperfections, is investigated based on the long wavelength approximation. The study employs existing constitutive models for elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle which comprise the medial layer of large elastic (conducting) arteries. A composite constitutive model is presented based on the concept of the musculoelastic fascicle (MEF) which is taken to be the essential building block of medial arterial tissue. Nonlinear equations governing axial stretch and areal stretch imperfection growth quantities are obtained and solved numerically. Exact, closed-form results are presented for both initial and terminal rates of imperfection growth with nominal load. The results reveal that geometrical imperfections, in the form of area nonuniformities, and material imperfections, in the form of constitutive parameter nonuniformities, either decrease or increase only slightly with increasing nominal load; a result which is to be expected for healthy tissue. By way of contrast, an examination of a simple model for elastin with a degrading stiffness gives rise to unbounded imperfection growth rates at finite values of nominal load. The latter result indicates how initial geometrical and material imperfections in diseased tissues might behave, a topic of future study by the authors.

We give a critical review of the "triviality" of the λϕ4 theory, i.e., the vanishing of the renormalized self-coupling. Evidence from perturbation theory and Monte-Carlo simulations are cited. It is noted that (a) the theory is "trivial" but not entirely free, for there is spontaneous symmetry breaking; (b) perturbation theory is unreliable. Soluble examples with similar behavior are compared, in particular the Lee model and the 3D δ function potential. The latter case is especially important, for it shows that triviality is a symptom that the interaction is too singular, and suggests a cure. The import for the Higgs sector of the standard model is discussed. It is argued that, like the Fermi pseudopotential, the Higgs field is a long-wavelength approximation that should be used in lowest order perturbation theory only.

An analysis has been carried out for peristaltic flow and heat transfer of a Carreau fluid in an asymmetric channel with slip effect. The governing problem is solved under long wavelength approximation. The variations of pertinent dimensionless parameters on temperature are discussed. Pumping and trapping phenomena are studied.
