formulated in terms of the Chern-Simons theory, classically. This theory can be written in a
supersymmetric way by introducing auxiliary gauginos and scalars. We calculate the exact
partition function of this Chern-Simons theory by using the localization technique. Thus, we
obtain the quantum gravity partition function, assuming that it can be obtained
nonperturbatively by summing over partition functions of the Chern-Simons theory on …
