Topological Mass Generation in Four Dimensions

arXiv:hep-th/0511175 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.081602

Abstract

Schwinger's mechanism for mass generation relies on topological structures of a 2-dimensional gauge theory. In the same manner, corresponding 4-dimensional topological entities give rise to topological mass generation in four dimensions.
