dc.description.abstractBoundary effects produced by a Chern-Simons (CS) extension to electrodynamics are analyzed exploiting the Green's function (GF) method. We consider the electromagnetic field coupled to a. term in a way that has been proposed to provide the correct low-energy effective action for topological insulators (TI). We take the theta term to be piecewise constant in different regions of space separated by a common interface Sigma, which will be called the theta boundary. Features arising due to the presence of the boundary, such as magnetoelectric effects, are already known in CS extended electrodynamics, and solutions for some experimental setups have been found, each with its specific configuration of sources. In this work we illustrate a method to construct the GF that allows us to solve the CS modified field equations for a given. boundary with otherwise arbitrary configuration of sources. The method is illustrated by solving the case of a planar. boundary but can also be applied for cylindrical and spherical geometries for which the theta boundary can be characterized by a surface where a given coordinate remains constant. The static fields of a pointlike charge interacting with a planar TI, as described by a planar discontinuity in theta, are calculated and successfully compared with previously reported results. We also compute the force between the charge and the. boundary by two different methods, using the energy-momentum tensor approach and the interaction energy calculated via the GF. The infinitely straight current-carrying wire is also analyzed.es_CL
