An effective action for ``soft'' gluons has been constructed by integrating out hard thermal modes of topologically massive vector bosons at one loop order. The gluons are equally massive in the non-Abelian topologically massive model due to a quadratic coupling $B\ensuremath{\wedge}F$ where a 2-form field $B$ is coupled quadratically with …
