* For vanishing cosmological constant: 3D general relativity, formulated as an ISO(2,1)-Chern-Simons gauge theory, which is integrable; If the phase space is chosen to be that of flat connections modulo gauge transformations, the theory is purely topological.
* For non-vanishing cosmological constant: For positive Λ, general relativity can be formulated as a SO(3,1) gauge theory, and for negative Λ, as a SO(2,2) gauge theory.
