We analyse some non-perturbative properties of the Yang-Mills vacuum in two-dimensional spaces in the presence of Chern-Simons interactions. We show that the vacuum functional vanishes for some gauge field configurations. We have identified some of those nodal configurations which are characterized by the property of carrying a non-trivial magnetic charge. In abelian gauge theories this fact explains why magnetic monopoles are suppressed by Chern-Simons interactions. In non-abelian theories...
