GAUGE-THEORY OF THE 3-DIMENSIONAL CHIRAL SPIN LIQUID

We have perturbatively evaluated the dynamics of the gauge field seen in finite-size studies of quasiparticle interactions in the 3-d chiral spin liquid [2]. The calculated dynamics agree with the near-field be havior of the gauge field seen in the previous numerical work. However , the far-field behavior of a quasiparticle's magnetic field configura tion is found to be dipolar, rather than monopolar as previously claim ed. We also identify a new non-rotationally invariant 3-d term in the gauge field's effective lagrangian and ascribe the observed behavior t o this term.
