We present a complete quantization of Lorentzian D=1+2 gravity with cosmological constant, coupled to a set of topological matter fields. The approach of Loop Quantum Gravity is used thanks to a partial gauge fixing leaving a residual gauge invariance under a compact semi-simple gauge group, namely Spin(4) = SU(2) x SU(2). A pair of quantum observables is constructed, which are non-trivial despite of being null at the classical level.

De Sitter Chern-Simons gravity in D = 1 + 2 spacetime is known to possess an extension with a Barbero-Immirzi like parameter. We find a partial gauge fixing which leaves a compact residual gauge group, namely SU(2). The compacticity of the residual gauge group opens the way to the usual LQG quantization techniques. We recall the exemple of the LQG quantization of SU(2) CS theory with cylindrical space topology, which thus provides a complete LQG of a Lorentzian gravity model in 3-dimensional space-time.
We obtain the Kerr-anti-de-sitter (Kerr-AdS) and Kerr-de-sitter (Kerr-dS) black hole (BH) solutions to the Einstein field equation in the perfect fluid dark matter background using the Newman-Janis method and Mathematica package. We discuss in detail the black hole properties and obtain the following main results: (i) From the horizon equation $g_{rr}=0$, we derive the relation between the perfect fluid dark matter parameter $alpha$ and the cosmological constant $Lambda$ when the cosmological horizon $r_{Lambda}$ exists. For $Lambda=0$, we find that $alpha$ is in the range $0<alpha<2M$ for $alpha>0$ and $-7.18M<alpha<0$ for $alpha<0$. For positive cosmological constant $Lambda$ (Kerr-AdS BH), $alpha_{max}$ decreases if $alpha>0$, and $alpha_{min}$ increases if $alpha<0$. For negative cosmological constant $-Lambda$ (Kerr-dS BH), $alpha_{max}$ increases if $alpha>0$ and $alpha_{min}$ decreases if $alpha<0$; (ii) An ergosphere exists between the event horizon and the outer static limit surface. The size of the ergosphere evolves oppositely for $alpha>0$ and $alpha<0$, while decreasing with the increasing $midalphamid$. When there is sufficient dark matter around the black hole, the black hole spacetime changes remarkably; (iii) The singularity of these black holes is the same as that of rotational black holes. In addition, we study the geodesic motion using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism and find that when $alpha$ is in the above ranges for $Lambda=0$, stable orbits exist. Furthermore, the rotational velocity of the black hole in the equatorial plane has different behaviour for different $alpha$ and the black hole spin $a$. It is asymptotically flat and independent of $alpha$ if $alpha>0$ while is asymptotically flat only when $alpha$ is close to zero if $alpha<0$.
We perform a canonical quantization of pure gravity on AdS3 using as a technical tool its equivalence at the classical level with a Chern-Simons theory with gauge group SL(2,R)xSL(2,R). We first quantize the theory canonically on an asymptotically AdS space --which is topologically the real line times a Riemann surface with one connected boundary. Using the constrain first approach we reduce canonical quantization to quantization of orbits of the Virasoro group and Kaehler quantization of Teichmuller space. After explicitly computing the Kaehler form for the torus with one boundary component and after extending that result to higher genus, we recover known results, such as that wave functions of SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory are conformal blocks. We find new restrictions on the Hilbert space of pure gravity by imposing invariance under large diffeomorphisms and normalizability of the wave function. The Hilbert space of pure gravity is shown to be the target space of Conformal Field Theories with continuous spectrum and a lower bound on operator dimensions. A projection defined by topology changing amplitudes in Euclidean gravity is proposed. It defines an invariant subspace that allows for a dual interpretation in terms of a Liouville CFT. Problems and features of the CFT dual are assessed and a new definition of the Hilbert space, exempt from those problems, is proposed in the case of highly-curved AdS3.
We present and describe an exact solution of Einsteins equations which represents a snapping cosmic string in a vacuum background with a cosmological constant $Lambda$. The snapping of the string generates an impulsive spherical gravitational wave which is a particular member of a known family of such waves. The global solution for all values of $Lambda$ is presented in various metric forms and interpreted geometrically. It is shown to represent the limit of a family of sandwich type N Robinson-Trautman waves. It is also derived as a limit of the C-metric with $Lambda$, in which the acceleration of the pair of black holes becomes unbounded while their masses are scaled to zero.
By making use of the background field method, the one-loop quantization for Euclidean Einstein-Weyl quadratic gravity model on the de Sitter universe is investigated. Using generalized zeta function regularization, the on-shell and off-shell one-loop effective actions are explicitly obtained and one-loop renormalizability, as well as the corresponding one-loop renormalization group equations, are discussed. The so called critical gravity is also considered.
