We study Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in 2 noncommutative spatial dimensionsand 1 temporal dimension. We consider a finite matrix model obtained by addinga linear boundary field which takes into account boundary fluctuations. Thepure Chern-Simons has been previously shown to be equivalent to the Laughlindescription of the quantum Hall effect. With the addition of the Maxwell term,we find that there exists a rich spectrum of excitations including solitonswith nontrivial "magnetic flux" and quasi-holes with nontrivial "charges",which we describe in this article. The magnetic flux corresponds to vorticityin the fluid fluctuations while the charges correspond to sources of fluidfluctuations. We find that the quasi-hole solutions exhibit a gap in thespectrum of allowed charge.Comment: 19+1 pages, 12 figures, colour graphics required, version publishe
