The author studies the canonical quantization of Chern-Simons gauge theory in \(2+1\) dimensions considering the case in which the gauge group is a complex Lie group. The Lagrangian is defined on a three-dimensional manifold \(M=\Sigma *{\mathbb{R}}\), with \({\mathbb{R}}'\) being the time axis and \(\Sigma\) an oriented closed surface. The special case in which \(\Sigma\) is a genus one surface is also analyzed. The quantization is described in close analogy with the compact gauge group case and the gravitational interpretation of the SL(2,\({\mathbb{C}})\) theory is also considered.
