    Description
    We study black holes in three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity with a negative cosmological constant. In particular, we identify how the Chern-Simons interactions between a scattering particle and a black hole project the particle wave-function onto a wave-function in the black-hole background. Also, we attempt to draw some lessons for theories of quantum gravity from the three-dimensional case.
