Abstract

We include a Chern-Simons term in a GL(3,R) gauge formulation ofgravity with a cosmological contribution in 2+1 dimension and weexplore consistence showing that excitations must be causal andstandard topological massive gravity is recovered from this typeof construction at the torsionless limit.
