Starting from the generating functional of the theory of relativistic spinors in 2+1 dimensions interacting through the pure Chern-Simons gauge field, the S matrix is constructed and seen to be formally the same as that of spinor quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions with Feynman diagrams having external photon lines excluded, and with the propagator of the topological Chern-Simons photon substituted for the Maxwell photon propagator. It is shown that the absence of real topological photons in the complete set of vector states of the total Hilbert space leads in a given order of perturbation theory to topological unitarity identities that demand the vanishing of the gauge-invariant sum of the imaginary parts of the Feynman diagrams with a given number of internal on-shell free toplogical photon lines. It is also shown that these identities can be derived outside the framework of perturbation theory. The identities are verified explicitly for the scattering of a fermion-antifermion pair in one-loop order.

TOPOLOGY AND FRACTIONAL SPIN IN THE (2+1)-DIMENSIONAL SIGMA MODEL Pak, Namık Kemal; PERCACCI, R (1991-02-15) We discuss the appearance of theta vacua and solitons with fractional spin in the S2-valued nonlinear sigma model in two space dimensions. We use a formulation of the sigma model in terms of Euler angles and work within the context of canonical quantization. We show that when the model is coupled to an SU(2) topologically massive theory, the theta sectors disappear and the topological mass is not quantized.
Magnetic moment of the X-Q state with J(PC)=1(++/-) in light cone QCD sumrules Agamaliev, A. K.; Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (2017-02-21) The magnetic moments of the recently observed resonance X-b(5568) by D0 Collaboration and its partner with charm quark are calculated in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules, by assuming that these resonances are represented as tetraquark states with quantum numbers J(PC) = 1(vertical bar +/-). The magnetic moment can play a critical role in the determination of the quantum numbers, as well as give useful information about the inner structure of these mesons.
NEW APPROACH TO THE PATH-INTEGRAL REPRESENTATION FOR THE DIRAC PARTICLE PROPAGATOR Alıyev, Tahmasıb; PAK, NK (1994-11-15) The path integral representation for the propagator of a spinning particle in an external electromagnetic field is derived using the functional derivative formalism with the help of a Weyl symbol representation. The proposed method essentially simplifies the proof of the path integral representation starting from the equation for the Green function and automatically leads to a precise and unambiguous form of the boundary conditions for the Grassmann variables and puts a strong restriction on the choice of t...
On the Poisson sum formula for analysis of EM radiation/scattering from large finite arrays Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Chou, HT (1998-01-01) A useful procedure, that has been described previously in the literature, employs the Poisson sum formula to represent the solution to the fields of a three-dimensional (3D) large periodically spaced finite planar array problem configuration as a convolution of the infinite planar periodic array solution and the Fourier transform of the equivalent aperture distribution over the finite array. It is shown here that the Poisson sum formula utilized by Felsen and Carin (see J. Opt. Soc. Am. A, vol.11, no.4, p.1...
Universal extra dimensions and Kaluza-Klein bound states Carone, CD; Conroy, JM; Sher, M; Turan, İsmail (American Physical Society (APS), 2004-04-01) We study the bound states of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of quarks in certain models of universal extra dimensions. Such bound states may be detected at future lepton colliders in the cross section for the pair production of KK quarks near threshold. For typical values of model parameters, we find that "KK quarkonia" have widths in the 10-100 MeV range, and production cross sections of the order of a few picobarns for the lightest resonances. Two body decays of the constituent KK quarks lead to distin...
