Three-dimensional Euclidean pure gravity with a negative cosmological constant can be
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

Three-dimensional Euclidean pure gravity with a negative cosmological constant can be 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 topologically different manifolds. The resultant partition function is modular invariant, and, in the case in which the central charge is expected to be 24, it is the function, predicted by Witten.
