Description
The Wilson spool is a gauge invariant object that harnesses the Chern-Simons formulation of 3D gravity to calculate quantum gravitational effects to all orders in Newton's constant. To date, the spool has only been formulated in the context of Einstein gravity. A natural extension is to compute the spool in the context of warped AdS3 black holes, since this spacetime also admits a Chern-Simons formulation, but is not a solution of Einstein gravity (but rather Lower-Spin Gravity or Topological Massive Gravity). We present the necessary changes to define a Wilson spool in this setting.
