Renormalizability of Topologically Massive Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
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 specific combination of higher derivative terms which is motivated by the new massive gravity in three dimensions.

Renormalizability of Massive Gravity in Three Dimensions
We discuss renormalizability of a recently established, massive gravity theory with particular higher derivative terms in three space-time dimensions. It is shown that this massive gravity is certainly renormalizable as well as unitary, so it gives us a physically interesting toy model of perturbative quantum gravity in three dimensions.

متن کاملConsistent boundary conditions for cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point
We show that cosmological topologically massive gravity at the chiral point allows not only Brown–Henneaux boundary conditions as consistent boundary conditions, but slightly more general ones which encompass the logarithmic primary found in 0805.2610 as well as all its descendants. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] Cosmological topologically massive gravity [1] (...
متن کاملA note on positive energy of topologically massive gravity
I review how " classical SUGRA " embeddability establishes positive energy E for D = 3 topologically massive gravity (TMG), with or without a cosmological term, a procedure familiar from D = 4 Einstein gravity (GR). It also provides explicit expressions for E. In contrast to GR, E is not manifestly positive, due to the peculiar two-term nature of TMG.
متن کاملDistended Topologically Massive Electrodynamics
We extend topologically massive electrodynamics, both by adding a higher derivative action to cast the entire three-term model in Chern-Simons (CS) form, and by embedding it in an AdS background. It can then be written as the sum of two CS terms, one of which vanishes at the “chiral” point, in analogy with its gravitational topologically massive counterpart. Separately we treat pure CS electrod...
متن کاملHomogeneous Spacetimes with Isotropy in 2+1 Dimensions as Solutions to Topologically Massive Gravity
Homogeneous solutions to topologically massive gravity have been previously found for spacetimes in 2+1 dimensions admitting a simply transitive isometry group. We discuss the case of homogeneous spacetimes in 2+1 dimensions with isotropy, review a technique for classifying them, and examine in each case whether the isometry group has a simply transitive subgroup. We further show that none of t...
