Canonical structure of topologically massive gravity with a cosmological constant
We study the canonical structure of three-dimensional topologically massive gravity with a cosmological constant, using the full power of Dirac’s method for constrained Hamiltonian systems. It is found that the dimension of the physical phase space is two per spacetime point, which corresponds to a single Lagrangian degree of freedom. The analysis of the AdS asymptotic region reveals a remarkab...
متن کاملCanonical analysis of cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point
Wolfgang Kummer was a pioneer of two-dimensional gravity and a strong advocate of the first order formulation in terms of Cartan variables. In the present work we apply Wolfgang Kummer's philosophy, the 'Vienna School approach', to a specific three-dimensional model of gravity, cos-mological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point. Exploiting a new Chern–Simons representation we perfo...
متن کاملInstability in cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point
We demonstrate that cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point exhibits a negative energy bulk mode that grows linearly in time. Unless there are physical reasons to discard this mode, this theory is unstable. To address this issue we prove that the mode is not pure gauge and that its negative energy is time-independent and finite. The isometry generators L0 and L̄0 have non-...
متن کاملBrown-Henneaux’s Canonical Approach to Topologically Massive Gravity
We analyze the symmetry realized asymptotically on the two dimensional boundary of AdS3 geometry in topologically massive gravity, which consists of the gravitational Chern-Simons term as well as the usual Einstein-Hilbert and negative cosmological constant terms. Our analysis is based on the conventional canonical method and proceeds along the line completely parallel to the original Brown and...
متن کاملRenormalizability of Topologically Massive Gravity
We consider renormalizability of topologically massive gravity in three space-time dimensions. With a usual parametrization of the metric tensor, we establish the statement that topologically massive gravity is in fact renormalizable. In this proof, we make use of not only a recently found, new infrared regularization method of scalar mode but also a covariant ultraviolet regulator with a speci...
