Title: A topologically massive double copy

Abstract: While gravity and gauge theories appear to be unrelated theories, it is possible to obtain gravitational amplitudes as the “square” of gauge theory ones. This relation, dubbed the double copy, is broader than originally envisioned and explorations of its applicability are still underway. In this talk, I will focus on extensions of the double copy relation for massive mediators. I will show that a surprising example arises in 3d when considering topologically massive theories. To show its robustness, I will present different scenarios where this double copy holds, including classical realizations and a derivation from minitwistor space.
