Abstract: (APS)
A new two-dimensional model of self-dual bosons interacting chirally with gauge fields is presented. In this anomalous gauge theory, the photon acquires a mass by swallowing a self-dual boson (i.e., a chiral fermion) which gets confined as in the Schwinger model.- field theory: scalar
- boson: chiral
- gauge field theory: U(1)
- dimension: 2
- duality
- Hamiltonian formalism
- quantization: constraint
- anomaly
- regularization
