1-Loop Analysis of the Photon Self-Energy due to 3D-Gravity

A Maxwell-Chern-Simons field is minimally coupled to 3D-gravity. Feynman rules are written down and 1-loop corrections to the gauge-field self-energy are calculated. Transversality is verified and gauge-field dynamical mass generation does not take place.

Extending the Barnes-Rivers Operators to D=3 Topological Gravity

The spin-projector operators for symmetric rank-2 tensors are reassessed in connection with the issue of topologically massive gravity. The original proposal by Barnes and Rivers is generalised to account for D-dimensional Einstein gravity and 3-dimensional Chern-Simons massive gravitation.
