Topological Invariance at Finite Temperature
Wei Chen
We examine the thermal behavior of a theory with charged massive vector matter coupled to Chern-Simons gauge field. We obtain a critical temperature Tc, at which the effective mass…
Chen and Itoi Reply
Wei Chen, Chigak Itoi
We reply a Comment (hep-th/xxx) on our recent paper published in Phys Rev Lett 72 (1994) 2527-2530. We point out that the author of the Comment overlooks the highly non-trivial Che…
Phase Transition in (2+1)d Quantum Gravity
Wei Chen
(2+1) dimensional gravity is equivalent to an exactly soluble non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge field theory (E Witten 1988). Regarding this as the topological phase of quantum gravit…
Solving the Conformal Bootstrap: Four-Fermion Interactions at 2<d<4
Wei Chen, Yuri Makeenko, Gordon W Semenoff
We formulate the conformal bootstrap approach to four--fermion theory at its strong coupling fixed point in dimensions . We present a solution of the bootstrap equations in…
