Remarks on charged vortices in the Maxwell–Chern–Simons model

Abstract

We study vortex-like configuration in Maxwell–Chern–Simons electrodynamics. Attention is paid to the similarity it shares with the Nielsen–Olesen solutions at large distances. A magnetic symmetry between a point-like and an azimuthal-like current in this framework is also pointed out. Furthermore, we address the issue of a neutral spinless particle interacting with a charged vortex, and obtain that the Aharonov–Casher-type phase depends upon mass and distance parameters.
