Abstract
The constant curvature spacetimes of 3d gravity and their associated symmetry algebras are shown to arise from the 6d Drinfel'd double that underlies the two-parametric 'hybrid' quantum deformation of the (2, ) algebra. Moreover, the quantum deformation supplies the additional structures (star structure and pairing) that enter in the Chern-Simons formulation of the theory, thus establishing a direct link between quantum (2, ) algebras and 3d gravity models. In this approach the flat spacetimes and Newtonian models arise as Lie algebra contractions that are governed by two dimensionful (2, ) deformation parameters, which are directly related to the cosmological constant and to the speed of light. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
