Symmetry-breaking patterns in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The possible patterns into which global flavor symmetry and parity can break in three-dimensional Abelian gauge theories are derived. It is found that the two symmetries are incompatible: If one does not break, the other breaks maximally. For an odd number of flavors, in particular, parity conservation is always broken. A simple derivation of the quantum numbers of the vacuum in such theories is also presented.
