Topology change in (2+1)-dimensional gravity

Abstract: In (2+1)-dimensional general relativity, the path integral for a manifold can be expressed in terms of a topological invariant, the Ray-Singer torsion of a flat bundle over . For some manifolds, this makes an explicit computation of transition amplitudes possible. In this paper, we evaluate the amplitude for a simple topology-changing process. We show that certain amplitudes for spatial topology change are nonvanishing---in fact, they can be infrared divergent---but that they are infinitely suppressed relative to similar topology-preserving amplitudes.
