Fully extended BV-BFV description of General Relativity in three dimensions

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: We compute the extension of the BV theory for three-dimensional General Relativity to all higher-codimension strata - boundaries, corners and vertices - in the BV-BFV framework. Moreover, we show that such extension is strongly equivalent to (nondegenerate) BF theory at all codimensions.
