Spinors in non-relativistic Chern-Simons electrodynamics

arXiv:hep-th/9510114 · doi:10.1006/aphy.1996.0071

Abstract

It is shown that the non-relativistic `Dirac' equation of Lévy-Leblond, we used recently to describe a spin field interacting non-relativistically with a Chern-Simons gauge field, can be obtained by lightlike reduction from dimensions. This allows us to prove that the system is Schrödinger symmetric. A spinor representation of the Schrödinger group is presented. Static, self-dual solutions, describing spinor vortices are given and shown to be the non-relativistic limits of the fermionic vortices found by Cho et al. The construction is extended to external harmonic and uniform magnetic fields.
