Massive vector Chern-Simons gravity

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We present a second-order gravity action which consists of ordinary Einstein action augmented by a first-order, vectorlike, Chern-Simons quasitopological term. This theory is ghost-free and propagates a pure spin-2 mode. It is diffeomorphism invariant, although its local Lorentz invariance has been spontaneously broken.
