I need to compute the "topologically massive photon" propagator.
I've started with :
L=−14FμνFμν+μ4ϵμνλAμ∂νAλ
=Aμ[12gμλ∂2+μ2ϵμνλ∂ν]⏟(Δ−1)μλAλ
So how can I invert The under braced part which will yield the topologically massive photon propagator?
Answer
The following is a rough calculation. If the operator,
△μλ=ημλ∂2+μϵμνλ∂ν,
is the one you wish to invert, then we must solve the differential equation
△μλG=[ημλ∂2+μϵμνλ∂ν]G=−iδ(4)(x−y)
where (−i) is by convention. I think the momentum space equivalent is
[ημλp2+iμϵμνλpν]ˆG=−ie−ip⋅y.
To obtain ˆG in position/physical space, you must perform an inverse fourier transform. Let me know what you get, I'm curious!
