Periodic electromagnetic vacuum in the two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with the Chern-Simons mass
Abstract
The periodic vacuum structure formed from magnetic and electric fields is derived in the two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with the Chern-Simons term. It is shown that both the magnetic flux quantization in the fundamental sell and conductivity quantization inherent to the vacuum. Hence, the quantum Hall effect gets its natural explanation.
