Chern--Simons Solution of the Ashtekar Constraints for the Teleparallelism Equivalent of Gravity

E.W. Mielke

The teleparallelism equivalent GR\parallel of gravity is considered. After its complexification via a canonical transformation, it becomes a true Yang--Mills theory of translations. It is shown that states constructed from the translational Chern--Simons term \underline \cal CTT fully solve the corresponding Hamiltonian and diffeomorphism constraints.
