Abstract
The model of Lorentzian three-dimensional dynamical triangulations provides a non-perturbative definition of
three-dimensional quantum gravity. The theory has two phases: a weak-coupling phase with quantum fluctuations
around a “semiclassical” background geometry which is generated dynamically despite the fact that the formula-
tion is explicitly background-independent, and a strong-coupling phase where “classical” space disintegrates
