A note on the static potential for a D=3 Born-Infeld theory coupled to a new generalized connection

Abstract

For a (2+1)-dimensional Born-Infeld theory coupled to a recently proposed generalized connection, we compute the interaction potential within the structure of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. The result is equivalent to that of $QED_3$ with a Thirring interaction term among fermions, in the short distance regime. This result agrees with that of the topologically massive Born-Infeld theory.
