Abstract

Three dimensional quantum gravity with torus universe, T^2xR topology is reformulated as the motion of a relativistic point particle moving in an Sl(2,Z) orbifold of flat Minkowski spacetime. The latter is precisely the three dimensional Milne Universe studied recently by Russo as a background for Strings. We comment briefly on the dynamics and quantization of the model.
