| Summary, etc. |
A survey of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity. The book emphasizes the "quantum cosmology" of closed universes and the quantum mechanics of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole. It compares and contrasts a variety of approaches, and examines what they imply for a realistic theory of quantum gravity. (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) |
