In this work we use the method of consistent deformations of the master
equation by Barnich and Henneaux in order to prove that an abelian topological coupling between a zero and a two form fields in D = 3 has
no nonabelian generalization. We conclude 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. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier
