Topics in 2 + 1 gravity and conformal field theory
We study the Hamiltonian dynamics for a system of two colliding point particles coupled to (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a negative cosmological constant by anchoring the dynamics of the system to its spatial infinity. We reduce the Chern-Simons formulation of the gravitational action, finding the...
