The algorithm is used to test the unitarity of both topologically massive higher-derivative electromagnetism (TMHDE) and topologically massive higher-derivative gravity (TMHDG). The novel and amazing features of these effective field models are also discussed.1123-1139engtopologically massive modelsunitarityeffective field modelsArtigo10.1007/s10773-005-4050-1WOS:000234209000003Acesso restrito
