Huyghens Principle, Planck Law: Peculiarities in the Behavior of Planar Photons

Abstract

Huyghens principle and Planck law are studied in Maxwell and Maxwell-Chern-Simons frameworks in (2+1) dimensions. Contrary to (3+1) dimensions, massless photons are shown to violate Huyghens principle in planar world. In addition, we obtain that Planck law is no longer proportional to ${\nu }^3$, but to the squared frequency, ${\nu }^2$, of the planar photons. We also briefly discuss possible physical consequences of these results.
