Abstract
We perform the perturbation analysis of the Chern-Simons modified gravity around the AdS spacetimes (its curvature radius ) to obtain the critical gravity. In general, we could not obtain an explicit form of perturbed Einstein equation which shows a massive graviton propagation clearly, but for the Kerr-Schild perturbation and Chern-Simons coupling , we find the AdS wave as a single massive solution to the perturbed Einstein equation. Its mass squared is given by . At the critical point of , the solution takes the log-form and the linearized excitation energies vanish.
