Nonlocal electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions from Chern-Simons theory
Abstract
The theory of a spinor field interacting with a pure Chern-Simons gauge field in 2+1 dimensions is quantized. Dynamical and nondynamical variables are separated in a gauge-independent way. After the nondynamical variables are dropped, this theory reduces to a pure spinor field theory with nonlocal interaction. Several two-body scattering processes are studied and the cross sections are obtained in explicitly Lorentz invariant forms.
