Spinor couplings to dilaton gravity induced by the dimensional reduction of topologically massive gravity

arXiv:gr-qc/0403016 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/21/9/004

Abstract

A Dirac spinor is coupled to topologically massive gravity and the D=3 dimensional action is reduced to D=2 dimensions with a metric that includes both the electromagnetic potential 1-form A and a dilaton scalar ϕ. The dimensionnaly reduced spinor is made a mass eigenstate with a (local) chiral rotation. The non-trivial interactions thus induced are discussed.
