Errata and Addendum to &#34;Lambda<0 Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions&#34;

Abstract

We correct some errors in the two papers published with the above title in Class. Quant. Grav. 19 (2002). In particular, the correct prescription for computing the probabilities is given, in that appropriate normalization factors are introduced. The resulting computation of the semi-classical limit of probabilities actually becomes much simpler, and no CFT analysis is necessary. In spite of some mistakes, the conclusions of these two papers are to a large extent unchanged. In particular, we still get an exponentially small answer exp(-beta*M) for the black hole creation-evaporation probability.
