Abstract

Chern-Simons quantum mechanics is studied by using the path integral formulation. We find that the model can be decomposed into two independent oscillators when a set of new coordinate is chosen. The propagator is constructed in this new set of coordinate and the spectra is read off directly from it. The spectra will be divergent when the mass of the particle tends to zero. In order to get a physical result, one must regularize the spectra properly. We afford a new scheme of regularization. Interestingly, our scheme shows that the regularization we proposed amounts to erase one of the oscillators in the new set of coordinate. Physical interpretations for the regularization are given and some ambiguities in the literatures are clarified.
