Topology, Quantum Gravity and Particle Physics
Andrew Toon
It is argued that quantum gravity has an interpretation as a topological field theory provided a certain constraint from the path intergral measure is respected. The constraint for…
Quantum Einstein Gravity as a Topological Field Theory
Andrew Toon
General covariance in quantum gravity is seen once one integrates over all possible metrics. In recent years topological field theories have given us a different route to general c…
Background Fields in 2+1 Topological Gravity
A. Toon
The partition function of 2+1 Chern-Simons Witten topological gravity has an attractive interpretation in terms of the unbroken and broken phases of gravity. We make this physical…
Particle Content in Topological Field Theories
A. Toon
By demanding that the path integral measure of topological field theories be metric independent, we can derive powerful constraints on the particle content of a topological field t…
