Abstract
It is shown that, in the three-dimensional lattice gravity defined by Ponzano and Regge, the space of physical states is isomorphic to the space of gauge-invariant functions on the moduli space of flat connections over a two-dimensional surface, which gives physical states in the Chern-Simons gauge theory.
