Interpolating gauge-fixing for Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory in D=3

Abstract

The Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory in three-dimensional Minkowski space-time is studied in a gauge-fixing scheme which interpolates between the covariant gauge and light-cone gauge, the interpolating gauge-fixing. The ultraviolet finiteness of the theory is proved via the Becchi-Rouet-Stora (BRS) algebraic renormalization procedure, which allows us to demonstrate the vanishing of all $\beta$-functions and all anomalous dimensions to all orders in perturbation theory.
