TL;DR
This paper determines the critical charge in topologically massive gauge theories for any gauge group and explores its connections with conformal field theories, extending previous SU(2) results.
Contribution
It generalizes the critical charge calculation to arbitrary gauge groups and investigates its relation to WZNW models and logarithmic CFTs.
Findings
Critical charge formula for any gauge group in TMGT
Connection established between critical charges and conformal field theory structures
Extension of previous SU(2) results to broader gauge groups
Abstract
We find the critical charge for a topologically massive gauge theory for any gauge group, generalising our earlier result for SU(2). The relation between critical charges in TMGT, singular vectors in the WZNW model and logarithmic CFT is investigated.
