Ss. Feng et al., ENERGY-SPECTRUM OF EXCITATIONS IN THE PROCA-CHERN-SIMONS SYSTEM, International journal of theoretical physics, 37(8), 1998, pp. 2105-2113
We quantize the Proca-Chern-Simons system via the path-integral approa
ch and diagonalize the Hamiltonian by canonical transformations. We fi
nd that the mass spectrum of the system is equivalent to a system of t
wo free scalar fields; the statistical partition function, which does
not exhibit any exotic properties, is also evaluated from the diagonal
ized Hamiltonian.
