More Gravitational Anyons

Abstract

The anyonic behaviour of massive spinning point particles coupled to linearized massive vector Chern-Simons gravity is studied. This model constitutes the uniform spin-2 generalization of the vector model formed by coupling charged point particles to the topological massive Maxwell-CS action. It turns out that, for this model, the linearized first order triadic Chern-Simons term is the source of the anyonic behaviour we found. This is in constrast with the third order topologically massive gravity, where the anyonic behaviour does not stem in its third-order Lorentz-Chern-Simons term, the second order Einstein's action .
