Review text

General relativity in three spacetime dimensions can be reformulated as a Chern-Simons (CS) theory. For CS-theories with a compact gauge group a `combinatorical quantization programme' was developed by \textit{A. Yu. Alekseev, H. Grosse} and \textit{V. Schomerus} [Commun. Math. Phys. 172, 317-358 (1995; Zbl 0842.58037) and ibid. 174, 561-604 (1996; Zbl 0842.58038)]. In the gravitational case the gauge group is usually non-compact and depends on the cosmological constant and the spacetime signature. In the present paper the combinatorical quantization programme is carried out explicitly for the case of Euclidean signature and vanishing cosmological constant. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0970.00023].
