Abstract

We show that the Proca equation with Chern-Simons term propagates a self-dual field with two distinct masses in 4K - 1 dimensions. In the special case of three-dimensions (K = 1) it is further shown that the corresponding lagrangian is the free gauge part of the abelian Higgs model with Chern-Simons term after the Higgs mechanism has taken place. Some unusual features of the nonabelian Higgs model with Chern-Simons term are also pointed out.
