Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Schrödinger representation formulation of quantum field theory. The analysis is presented for three-dimensional space-time Abelian gauge theories with either Maxwell, Maxwell-Chern-Simons, or pure Chern-Simons terms as the gauge field contribution to the action, each of which leads to a different form of mass generation for the gauge fields.Keywords
