Assuming that the superconductivity which is described by the low energy effective action of the anyon system may be type II, we discuss its characteristics. We also study physical properties of the Chern-Simons vortices, which may be formed as the external magnetic field is applied to the system, such as their statistics, the free energy of single vortex and the interaction energy between two vortices.
Without assuming rotational invariance, we derive Bogomol'nyi equations for the solitons in the abelian Chern-Simons gauge theories with the anomalous magnetic moment interaction. We also evaluate the number of zero modes around a static soliton configuration.
We construct a classical action for a system of $N$ point-like sources which carry SU(2) non-Abelian charges coupled to non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge fields, and develop a quantum mechanics for them. Adopting the coherent state quantization and solving the Gauss' constraint in an appropriately chosen gauge, we obtain a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian given in terms of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection. Then we study the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm effect, employing the obtained Hamiltonian for two-particle sector. An explicit evaluation of the differential cross section for the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm scattering is given.
We present a new method of formulating the classical theory of $SU(N+1)$ non-Abelian Chern-Simons (NACS) particles for arbitrary $N\geq 1$ using the symplectic reduction of $CP(N)$ manifold from $S^{2N+1}$. Quantizing the theory using BRST formulation and coherent state path integral method , we obtain a quantum mechanical model for $SU(N+1)$ NACS particles.
We propose a classical model for the non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to $N$ point-like sources and quantize the system using the BRST technique. The resulting quantum mechanics provides a unified framework for fractional spin, braid statistics and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation.
We investigate the effects of the Chern-Simons coupling on the high energy behavior in the $(2+1)$-dimensional Chern-Simons QED with a four-Fermi interaction. Using the $1/N$ expansion we discuss the Chern-Simons effects on the critical four-Fermi coupling at $O(1/N)$ and the $β$ function around it. High-energy behavior of Green's functions is also discussed. By explicit calculation, we find that the radiative correction to the Chern-Simons coupling vanishes at $O(1/N)$ in the broken phase of the dynamical parity symmetry. We argue that no radiative corrections to the Chern-Simons term arise at higher orders in the $1/N$ expansion.
