Title

ADM-like Hamiltonian formulation of gravity in the teleparallel geometry
Co-authors

Abstract

The Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity is considered as a theory of cotetrad fields on a four-dimensional manifold. The 3+1 decomposition of the cotetrad is described by means of the lapse and the shift appearing in the ADM Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity. The Legendre transformation is carried out and both a Hamiltonian and a constraint algebra is derived. There are six primary constraints which define local Lorentz transformations on the phase space and four secondary ones - three of them form a vector constraint and the fourth one is a scalar constraint. All the constraints are of the first class.
