Static potential in scalar QED${}_3$ with non-minimal coupling

Abstract

Here we compute the static potential in scalar $QE{D}_3$ at leading order in $1/N_f$. We show that the addition of a non-minimal coupling of Pauli-type ($\eps j^μ\partial^νA^α$), although it breaks parity, it does not change the analytic structure of the photon propagator and consequently the static potential remains logarithmic (confining) at large distances. The non-minimal coupling modifies the potential, however, at small charge separations giving rise to a repulsive force of short range between opposite sign charges, which is relevant for the existence of bound states. This effect is in agreement with a previous calculation based on M$\ddot{o}$ller scattering, but differently from such calculation we show here that the repulsion appears independently of the presence of a tree level Chern-Simons term which rather affects the large distance behavior of the potential turning it into constant.
