Algorithm for Probing the Unitarity of Topologically Massive Models
arXiv:hep-th/0511242 · doi:10.1007/s10773-005-4050-1
Abstract
An uncomplicated and easily handling prescription that converts the task of checking the unitarity of massive, topologically massive, models into a straightforward algebraic exercise, is developed. The algorithm is used to test the unitarity of both topologically massive higher-derivative electromagnetism and topologically massive higher-derivative gravity. The novel and amazing features of these effective field models are also discussed.
