Abstract
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.
