What's the Matter with 3D Gravity?
Robert Bourne, Jackson R. Fliss, Bob Knighton
We revisit the problem of minimally coupling matter to Einstein gravity in three dimensions with negative cosmological constant. By working in the worldline formalism, we construct…
A spool for every quotient: One-loop partition functions in AdS gravity
Robert Bourne, Jackson R. Fliss, Bob Knighton
The Wilson spool is a prescription for expressing one-loop determinants as topological line operators in three-dimensional gravity. We extend this program to describe massive spinn…
Spinning up the spool: Massive spinning fields in 3d quantum gravity
Robert Bourne, Alejandra Castro, Jackson R. Fliss
We show how to incorporate massive spinning fields into the Euclidean path integral of three-dimensional quantum gravity via its Chern-Simons formulation. The coupling of the spinn…
