Induced vacuum condensates in the background of a singular magnetic vortex in 2+1-dimensional space-time
arXiv:hep-th/9907223 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.60.125017
Abstract
We show that the vacuum of the quantized massless spinor field in 2+1-dimensional space-time is polarized in the presence of a singular magnetic vortex. Depending on the choice of the boundary condition at the location of the vortex, either chiral symmetry or parity is broken; the formation of the appropriate vacuum condensates is comprehensively studied. In addition, we find that current, energy and other quantum numbers are induced in the vacuum.
