Abstract
We analyze the chiral quantum oscillator: a quantum-mechanical massless particle, restricted to move on a two-dimensional plane, under a constant, perpendicular magnetic field. The oscillator, which is constrained to wind around the origin in one sense only, mimics the behavior of the two-dimensional self-dual field. This model is used to study certain aspects of the chiral-boson theory.Keywords
