Topological two-dimensional gravity on surfaces with boundary

We solve two-dimensional gravity on surfaces with boundary in terms of contact interactions and surface degenerations. The known solution of the bulk theory in terms of a contact algebra is generalized to include boundaries and an enlarged set of boundary operators. The latter allow for a linearizat...
