RT Journal Article T1 Abelian Chern-Simons theory as the strong large-mass limit of topologicallymassive abelian gauge theory: the Wilson loop A1 Ruiz Ruiz, Fernando A1 Martin, C. P. A1 Giavarini, G. AB 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.
