Background Fields in 2+1 Topological Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The partition function of 2+1 Chern-Simons Witten topological gravity has an attractive interpretation in terms of the unbroken and broken phases of gravity. We make this physical interpretation manifest using the background field method.
