Abstract

We show that the recently found generalized Jones and Homfly polynomials for links in sum h × [0, 1], where sum h is a closed oriented Riemann surface, may be also obtained by the canonical quantization of a Chern-Simons non-Abelian gauge theory on sum h × [0, 1]. As a particular case, one may consider the 2+1-dimensional Euclidean quantum gravity with a positive cosmological constant.
