Background Fields in 2+1 Topological Gravity

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 interpretation manifest using the background field method.

Particle Content in Topological Field Theories

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 theory as well as on the dimensionality of space-time.
