Chern Simons Theory

We study the non-abelian Chern-Simons theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking. We find Bogomol’nyi type or self-dual equations for a particular choice of the Higgs potential; the corresponding vortex solutions for G=SU(2) carry both quantized electric charge Q= −en/2 and angular momentum J=nm2/4 (e is the fundamental charge, n is an integer associated with the Chern-Simons coefficient, and m is another integer which labels the topological sector). We propose a straightforward generalization to the SU(N) case.

Chern Simons Theory

We embed the semilocal Chern–Simons–Higgs theory into an N=2 supersymmetric system. We construct the corresponding conserved supercharges and derive the Bogomol'nyi equations of the model from supersymmetry considerations. We shown that these equations hold provided certain conditions on the coupling constants as well as on the Higgs potential of the system, which are a consequence of the huge symmetry of the theory, are satisfied. They admit string-like solutions which break one half of the supersymmetries — BPS Chern–Simons semilocal cosmic strings — whose magnetic flux is concentrated at the center of the vortex. We study such solutions and show that their stability is provided by supersymmetry through the existence of a lower bound for the energy, even though the manifold of the Higgs vacuum does not contain non-contractible loops.

Chern Simons Theory

Asymptotic states in field theories containing nonlocal kinetic terms are analyzed using the canonical method, naturally defined in Minkowski space. We apply our results to study the asymptotic states of a nonlocal Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory coming from bosonization in (2+1) dimensions. We show that in this case the only asymptotic state of the theory, in the trivial (non-topological) sector, is the vacuum.

Chern Simons Theory

We study the spectrum of multiple non-Abelian anyons in a harmonic trap. The system is described by Chern-Simons theory, coupled to either bosonic or fermionic non-relativistic matter, and has an SO(2,1)SO(2,1) conformal invariance. We describe a number of special properties of the spectrum, focussing on a class of protected states whose energies are dictated by their angular momentum. We show that the angular momentum of a bound state of non-Abelian anyons is determined by the quadratic Casimirs of their constituents.

Chern Simons Theory

We study several matter Chern-Simons models at finite chemical potential. In the SU(N) theory we discover a colour-flavour locked Bose condensed ground state with vacuum expectation values for both the scalar and gauge fields. We identify this ground state with the non-commutative Chern-Simons description of the quan-tum Hall eect. We compute the quadratic spectrum and discover roton excitations. We find a self-consistent circularly symmetric ansatz for topological non-abelian vortices. We examine vortices in abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to a relativistic scalar field with a chemical potential for particle number or U(1) charge. The Gauss constraint requires chemical potential for the local symme-try to be accompanied by a constant background charge density/ma-gnetic field. Focusing attention on power law scalar potentials |Φ|2s, s ∈ Z, which do not support vortex configurations in vacuum but do so at finite chemical potential, we numerically study classical vortex solutions for a large winding number |n|  1.

Chern Simons Theory

Stationary black holes in five-dimensional Einstein–Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory possess surprising properties. When considering the Chern–Simons coefficient λ as a parameter, two critical values of λ appear: the supergravity value λ SG = 1, and the value λ = 2. At λ = 1, supersymmetric black holes with vanishing horizon angular velocity, but finite angular momentum exist. As λ increases beyond λ SG a rotational instability arises, and counterrotating black holes appear, whose horizon rotates in the opposite sense to the angular momentum. Thus supersymmetry is associated with the borderline between stability and instability. At λ = 2, rotating black holes with vanishing angular momentum emerge. Beyond λ = 2, black holes may possess a negative horizon mass, while their total mass is positive. Charged rotating black holes with vanishing gyromagnetic ratio appear, and black holes are no longer uniquely characterized by their global charges.

Topological Term

Topological Higgs mechanism in higher dimensions is analyzed when ordinary Higgs potential exists. It is shown that if 1-form B field becomes massive by the ordinary Higgs mechanism, another D-2 form C field also becomes massive through topological term in addition to the topological mass generation by the topological Higgs mechanism. Moreover, we investigate this mechanism in 3-dimensional theories, that is to say, Chern-Simons theory and more general theory.
