Abelian Chern-Simons Term in Superfluid 3He-A
Abstract
We show in this paper that Abelian Chern-Simons term is induced in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensional rotating superfluid 3He-A and plays important roles in its dynamics. Because U(1) symmetry is spontaneously broken in 3He-A, Goldstone mode appears and contributes to induced Chern-Simons term. We found that the coefficient of Chern-Simons term, which is equivalent to Hall conductance, depends on an infra-red cut off of the Goldstone mode, and that the orbital angular momentum of 3He-A in a cylinder geometry is derived from Chern-Simons term.
