Abstract: (APS)
The Hamiltonian dynamics of three-dimensional topologically massive Yang-Mills theory is analyzed in both normal and null-plane coordinates using Dirac’s constraint formalism. As expected, the physical degrees of freedom correspond to a single self-interacting massive mode. In null-plane coordinates, we obtain the standard result that the number of canonical degrees of freedom is half the number found using a spacelike initial-value surface.- GAUGE FIELD THEORY: THREE-DIMENSIONAL
