Polyakov conjecture and 2+1 dimensional gravity coupled to particles

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A proof is given of Polyakov conjecture about the auxiliary parameters of the SU(1,1) Riemann-Hilbert problem for general elliptic singularities. Such a result is related to the uniformization of the the sphere punctured by n conical defects. Its relevance to the hamiltonian structure of 2+1 dimensional gravity in the maximally slicing gauge is stressed.
