We consider here the Chern-Simons field theory with the gauge group SU([ital N]) in the presence of a conformally flat gravitational background that describes a two-dimensional expanding universe.'' The propagator and the vertices are explicitly computed at the second order in perturbation theory imposing the Coulomb gauge fixing. It is shown in this gauge that the correlation functions of the gauge fields are independent of the metric.
