Unification of gauge and gravity Chern–Simons theories in 3-D space-time

Abstract Chamseddine and Mukhanov showed that gravity and gauge theories could be unified in one geometric construction provided that a metricity condition is imposed on the vielbein. In this paper we are going to show that by enlarging the gauge group we are able to unify Chern–Simons gauge theory...
