Four-dimensional Quantum Gravity with a Cosmological Constant from Three-dimensional Holomorphic Blocks

arXiv:1509.00458 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2015.11.058

Abstract

Prominent approaches to quantum gravity struggle when it comes to incorporating a positive cosmological constant in their models. Using quantization of a complex $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory we include a cosmological constant, of either sign, into a model of quantum gravity.
