Spontaneously broken 3d Hietarinta/Maxwell Chern–Simons theory and minimal massive gravity

Abstract We show that minimal massive 3d gravity (MMG) of (Bergshoeff et al. in Class Quantum Grav 31:145008, 2014), as well as the topological massive gravity, are particular cases of a more general ‘minimal massive gravity’ theory (with a single massive propagating mode) arising upon spontaneous b...
