Quantum group symmetry and particle scattering in (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity
read the original abstract
Starting with the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity we show that the gravitational interactions deform the Poincare symmetry of flat space-time to a quantum group symmetry. The relevant quantum group is the quantum double of the universal cover of the (2+1)-dimensional Lorentz group, or Lorentz double for short. We construct the Hilbert space of two gravitating particles and use the universal R-matrix of the Lorentz double to derive a general expression for the scattering cross section of gravitating particles with spin. In appropriate limits our formula reproduces the semi-classical scattering formulae found by 't Hooft, Deser, Jackiw and de Sousa Gerbert.

Bias in Local Spin Measurements from Deformed Symmetries
Local spin measurements on the U_q(su(2)) deformed singlet are biased unless observables are R-matrix-dressed; the claimed unbiased fix is not supported by the paper's own equations.
