摘要
We summarize the results obtained by applying Dirac's gauge fixing formalism to the combinatorial description of the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)-gravity and their implications for the symmetries of the quantum theory. While the combinatorial description of the phase space exhibits standard Poisson-Lie symmetries, every gauge fixing condition based on two point particles yields a Poisson structure determined by a dynamical classical r-matrix. By considering transformations between different gauge fixing conditions, it is possible to classify all gauge fixed Poisson structures in terms of two standard solutions of the dynamical classical Yang-Baxter equation. We discuss the conclusions that can be drawn from this about the symmetries of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity.
