Vortices of the Chern-Simons theory in the collective field approach
Ivan Andrić, Velimir Bardek
Abstract
We formulate a collective field approach to a planar nonrelativistic system of bosons interacting via the Chern-Simons interaction. Adding the attractive $\ensuremath{\delta}$ potential this system can be solved and the vortex soliton appears. The ground state of this system is scale and inversion invariant. In the harmonic well this system is not stable against the creation of vortices. Leading and next to leading terms in the $\frac{1}{N}$ expansion of the ground-state energy are calculated.
