Constants of the Motion and the Quantum Modular Group in (2+1) - Dimensional Gravity
V. Moncrief, J. E. Nelson
Abstract
Constants of motion are calculated for 2+1 dimensional gravity with topology R × T2 and negative cosmological constant. Certain linear combinations of them satisfy the anti - de Sitter algebra so(2,2) in either ADM or holonomy variables. Quantisation is straightforward in terms of the holonomy parameters, and the modular group is generated by these conserved quantities. On inclusion of the Hamiltonian three new global constants are derived and the quantum algebra extends to the conformal algebra so(2,3).
