In (2+1) dimensions, the Maxwell term $-(1/4) F_{\alpha\beta}F^{\alpha\beta}$ can be replaced by the Chern-Simons three-form $(\kappa/4)\epsilon^{\alpha\beta\gamma}A_\alpha F_{\beta\gamma}$, yielding a novel type of `electromagnetism'. This has been proposed for studying the Quantum Hall Effect as well as High-Temperature Superconductivity. The gauge field can be coupled to a scalar field either relativistically or non-relativistically. In both cases, one admits finite-energy, vortex solutions.

Superconformal Chern-Simons theories

A Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL). The BL theory has SO(4) gauge symmetry and…

Existence of mixed type solutions in the SU(3) Chern–Simons theory in $$\mathbb {R}^2$$R2

In this article, we are concerned with the SU(3) Chern–Simons theory in $$\mathbb {R}^2$$R2. It is believed that the self-dual equations of the theory possess three types of solutions, classified…

Exotic Galilean symmetry and non-commutative mechanics in mathematical and in condensed matter physics

The ``exotic'' particle model with non-commuting position coordinates, associated with the two-parameter central extension of the planar Galilei group, can be used to derive the ground states of the…

Exotic Galilean Symmetry, Non-commutativity & the Hall Effect

The ``exotic'' particle model associated with the two-parameter central extension of the planar Galilei group can be used to derive the ground states of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. Similar…

CERTAIN WEIGHTED MEAN INEQUALITY

In this paper, we report a new sharp inequality of interpolation type in R n . This inequality is for controlling weighted average of a function via L n norm of the gradient of a function together…

Self-dual Chern-Simons solitons.

These lectures are devoted to the two-year old topic of Chern-Simons solitons, combining the two subjects.

The Quantum Hall Effect

The integral quantum Hall effect was discovered in 1980 by Klaus von Klitzing, Michael Pepper, and Gerhardt Dordda. Truly remarkably, at low temperatures (~ 4 K), the Hall resistance of a two…
