dc.descriptionStarting from a recently proposed abelian topological model in (2+1) dimensions, we use the method of the consistent deformations to prove that a topologically massive model involving the Kalb-Ramond two form field does not admit a nonabelian generalization. The introduction of a connection-type one form field keeps the previous result. However we show that the goal is achieved if we introduce a vectorial auxiliary field, exhibiting a nonabelian topological mass generation mechanism in D=3, that provides mass for the Kalb-Ramond field. Further, we find the complete set of BRST and anti-BRST equations using the horizontality condition, suggesting a connection between this formalism and the method of the consistent deformations.
