D. Bazeia et Jrs. Nascimento, GAUGE-INVARIANT EFFECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR ABELIAN MAXWELL-CHERN-SIMONS SYSTEMS, Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 55(2), 1997, pp. 1105-1108
We investigate the effective potential for Abelian Maxwell-Chern-Simon
s systems. The calculations follow an alternate approach, recently pro
posed as a gauge-invariant formulation of the effective potential, con
structed in terms of a gauge-invariant order parameter. We compare the
results with another investigation, obtained within a standard route
of calculating the effective potential.
