    Conformal anomalies on Einstein spaces with Boundary

    Get PDF
    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

    Full text link
    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
