Abstract

The possibility of parity violation through spacetime torsion has been explored in a scenario containing fields with different spins. Taking the Kalb-Ramond field as the source of torsion, an explicitly parity violating U(1)EMU(1)_{EM} gauge invariant theory has been constructed by extending the KR field with a Chern-Simons term.
