Abstract

We show that the topological B F term in 3+1 dimensions can be generated via spontaneous symmetry breaking in a generalized Abelian Higgs model. Further, we also show that even in D dimensions ( D ≥ 3 ) , a B F term gives rise to the topological massive excitations of the Abelian gauge field and that such a B F term can also be generated via Higgs mechanism.
