摘要
We investigate the two-dimensional version of the Chern-Simons action derived from the recently proposed even-dimensional generalized Chern-Simons action. We show that the two-dimensional topological gravity emerges if we choose the Clifford algebra as a nonstandard gauge symmetry algebra required from the generalized Chern-Simons action. We find a "hidden order parameter" which differentiates the gravity phase and nongravity phase.
