Quantum Field Formalism for the Electromagnetic Interaction of Composite Particles in a Nonrelativistic Gauge Model

Abstract

A classical nonrelativistic U(1) × U(1) gauge field model for the electromagnetic interaction of composite particles is proposed and the quantum formalism is constructed. This gauge model containing a Chern–Simons U(1) field and the electromagnetic U(1) field can be coupled to both a bosonic or a fermionic matter field. We explicitly consider the second case, a composite fermion system in the presence of an electromagnetic field, and we carry out the canonical quantization by the Dirac method. The path integral approach is developed and the Feynman rules are established. A simplified model is considered. As an alternative path integral method, the BRST formalism for this gauge model is also treated.
