Twisted sectors in three-dimensional gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-08-25 v3

Abstract

Twisted sectors --solutions to the equations of motion with non-trivial monodromies-- of three dimensional Euclidean gravity are studied. We argue that upon quantization this new sector of the theory provides the necessary (and no more) degrees of freedom to account for the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.
