Abstract
The unconstrained light-front action of third-order topologically massive gravity is given. The generator of its dynamical evolution along the light-front time is found and it is shown to be non-negative. The analysis is performed in the dreibein light-front gauge introduced here. This natural gauge choice allows the author to stress the dreibein gauge structure of the theory.Keywords
