Asymptotic completeness and the three-dimensional gauge theory having the Chern-Simon term

Journal Article · · Int. J. Mod. Phys. A; (United States)
The three-dimensional Abelian gauge theory having the Chern-Simon term is studied. When matter current is absent, the gauge field in covariant gauge is explicitly expressed in terms of asymptotic fields. It is shown that the mechanism of mass generation can be understood as a kind of the Higgs mechanism.
