Relativistic Self-Dual Chern-Simons Systems: A Perspective

Abstract

The self-dual systems are constrained and so are simpler to understand. In recent years there have been several studies on the self-dual Chern-Simons systems. Here I present a brief survey of works done by my collaborators and myself. I also discuss several questions related to these self-dual models.Comment: LaTex, 9 pages, presented in the Low Dimensional Field Theory Workshop at Telluride (August 1996
