It has been conjectured by Rovelli that there is a correspondence between thespace of link classes of a Riemannian 3-manifold and the space of 3-geometries(on the same manifold). An exact statement of his conjecture will beestablished and then verified for the case when the 3-manifold is compact,orientable and closed.Comment: 14p. type-set in AmS-TeX version 2.
