Quantum Aspects of Supersymmetric Maxwell Chern-Simons Solitons

Abstract

We study the various quantum aspects of the $N=2$ supersymmetric Maxwell Chern-Simons vortex systems. The fermion zero modes around the vortices will give rise the degenerate states of vortices. We analyze the angular momentum of these zero modes and apply the result to get the supermultiplet structures of the vortex. The leading quantum correction to the mass of the vortex coming from the mode fluctuations is also calculated using various methods depending on the value of the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term $κ$ to be zero, infinite and finite, separately. The mass correction is shown to vanish for all cases. Fermion numbers of vortices are also discussed.
