TL;DR

This paper introduces a new topological three-dimensional model combining Chern-Simons and BFK actions, demonstrating its all-order perturbative finiteness using algebraic renormalization.

Contribution

It presents a generalized p-form topological model in three dimensions that extends previous work and proves its perturbative finiteness.

Findings

Model is finite to all orders of perturbation theory

Combines Chern-Simons and BFK actions in a novel way

Uses algebraic renormalization to establish finiteness

Abstract

A topological model in three dimensions is proposed. It combines the Chern-Simons action with a BFK-model which was investigated recently by the authors of hep-th/9906146. The finiteness of the model to all orders of perturbation theory is shown in the framework of algebraic renormalization procedure.
