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