A geometric view on topologically massive gauge theories
Description
The topologically massive gauge theory of Deser, Jackiw and Templeton is understood from Souriau's Principle of General Covariance. The non-gauge invariant mass term corresponds to a non-trivial class in the first cohomology group of configuration space, generated by the Chern-Simons secondary characteristic class. Quantization requires this class to be integral
