Abstract

We calculate the quantum corrections to the two-point function of four-dimensional topologically massive non-Abelian vector fields at one-loop order for $S U (N)$ gauge theory in Feynman–’t Hooft gauge. We calculate the beta function of the gauge coupling constant and find that the theory becomes asymptotically free faster than pure $S U (N)$ gauge theory.
