Minimal massive 3D gravity

Abstract: We present an alternative to Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) with the same "minimal" bulk properties; i.e. a single local degree of freedom that is realized as a massive graviton in linearization about an anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacuum. However, in contrast to TMG, the new "minimal massive gravity" has both a positive energy graviton and positive central charges for the asymptotic AdS-boundary conformal algebra.

“…In order to circumvent this inconsistency there were some suggestions like the Boulware-Deser ghost [26], "Zwei Dreibein Gravity (ZDG)" as a viable alternative to NMG [27,28]. Recently the new "minimal massive gravity (MMG)" theory has been suggested to resolve this inconsistency and to represent an alternative to TMG [29]. The field equation of MMG theory is distinguished from the TMG's one, including the additional symmetric curvature-squared terms while preserving the single bulk graviton mode state.…”

“…The action of the MMG theory include the torsion term coupled with an auxiliary field h which have the same odd-parity and dimension of mass with the spin connection ω, and another parity-even 'ehh' term considering h-squared term with a dimensionless parameter α. For more details see some references and therein [29][30][31][32][33].…”

“…Utilizing the recent observation [4,5] that the field equations of K-gravity split into two natural parts as K µν = J µν + H µν , whose explicit forms will be given below, where the H-tensor is the 3 dimensional version of the Bach tensor that vanishes for conformally flat (and conformally Einstein) geometries. On the other hand the J-tensor does not have any derivatives of the curvature and appeared as an interesting, bulk and boundary unitary deformation of topologically massive gravity (TMG) [6] to the minimal massive gravity (MMG) [7]. All the types of the black flower solution will appear as a conformally flat solution (H µν = 0), that also has vanishing J-tensor.…”
