One-loop corrections to the Chern-Simons coefficient of these systems turn out to be integer multiples of $1/4\\pi$ in both phases. Especially in the maximally supersymmetric $N=3$ case, the correction in symmetric phase vanishes and that in asymmetric phase is $\\kappa/(2\\pi |\\kappa|)$. Our results suggest that nonabelian self-dual systems might enjoy similar features. We also discuss various issues arising from our results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-08-13T21:11:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "chern-simons coefficient", "higgs phase", "abelian self-dual chern-simons higgs systems", "asymmetric phase", "enjoy similar features" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 38804 } } }
