By carrying out a character expansion and integration over all link variables, the partition function of 3-dimensional pure SU (2) lattice gauge theory is rewritten in terms of 6j symbols. The results is the Pozano-Regge model of 3-dimensional gravity with a term that explicitly breaks general coordinate invariance. Conversely, we show that the dual of the Ponzano-Regge model is an SU (2) lattice gauge theory where all plaquette variables are constrained to the identity matrix and therefore the model needs no further regularization. Our techniques are applicable to other models with non-abelian symmetries in any dimension and provide a duality transform for the partition function.
