%0 Journal Article %A Ruiz Ruiz, Fernando %A Martin, C. P. %A Giavarini, G. %T Abelian Chern-Simons theory as the strong large-mass limit of topologicallymassive abelian gauge theory: the Wilson loop %D 1994 %@ 0550-3213 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/59036 %X We show that the renormalized vacuum expectation value of he Wilson loop for topologically massive abelian gauge theory in R3 can be defined so that its large-mass limit is the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop for abelian Chern-Simons theory also in R3. %~
