Aspects of Screening and Confinement in a Topologically Massive U1W×U(1)Y Chern-Simons-Higgs Theory

By using the gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism, we consider a recently proposed topologically massive U1W×U(1)Y Chern-Simons-Higgs theory in 2+1 dimensions. In particular, we inspect the impact of a Chern-Simons mixing term between two Abelian gauge fields on physical observable...
