Abstract

We show that 2+1-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity is equivalent, under some mild topological assumptions, to a Gaussian fermionic system. In particular, for manifolds topologically equivalent to Σg×\RrR\Sigma_g\times\RrR with Σg\Sigma_g a closed and oriented Riemann surface of genus gg, the corresponding 2+1-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity may be related to the 3D-lattice Ising model before its thermodynamic limit.
