Conformal anomalies on Einstein spaces with Boundary
The anomalous rescaling for antisymmetric tensor fields, including gauge
bosons, and Dirac fermions on Einstein spaces with boundary has been prone to
errors and these are corrected here. The explicit calculations lead to some
interesting identities that indicate a deeper underlying structure.Comment: 8 pages, NCL94-TP10, (ReVTeX
Comparative Quantizations of (2+1)-Dimensional Gravity
We compare three approaches to the quantization of (2+1)-dimensional gravity
with a negative cosmological constant: reduced phase space quantization with
the York time slicing, quantization of the algebra of holonomies, and
quantization of the space of classical solutions. The relationships among these
quantum theories allow us to define and interpret time-dependent operators in
the ``frozen time'' holonomy formulation.Comment: 24 pages, LaTeX, no figure
