摘要
Starting from a recently proposed Abelian topological model in 2 + 1 dimensions, which involve the Kalb-Ramond two form held, we study a non-Abelian generalization of the model. An obstruction for the generalization is detected. However, we show that the goal is achieved if we introduce a vectorial auxiliary field. Consequently, a model is proposed, exhibiting a non-Abelian topological mass generation mechanism in D = 3, that provides mass for the Kalb-Ramond field. The covariant quantization of this model requires ghosts for ghosts. Therefore, in order to quantize the theory, we construct a complete set of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST equations using the horizontality condition.
