Some General Problems in Quantum Gravity II: The Three Dimensional Case

Abstract

The general problems of three-dimensional quantum gravity are recatitulated here, putting the emphasis on the mathematical problems of defining the measure of the path integral over all three-dimensional metrics.This work should be viewed as an extension of a preceding one on the four dimensional case (\cite{kn:eav5}), where also some general ideas are discussed in detail. We finally put forward some suggestions on the lines one could expect further progress in the field.
