Abstract:
This paper discusses the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Schr\"odinger representation formulation of quantum field theory. The analysis is presented for three-dimensional space-time abelian gauge theories with either Maxwell, Maxwell-Chern-Simons, or pure Chern-Simons terms as the gauge field contribution to the action, each of which leads to a different form of mass generation for the gauge fields.- gauge field theory: U(1)
