On the properties of the irrotational dust model

Abstract

In this note we analyze the model of the irrotational dust used recently to deparametrize gravitational action. We prove that the remarkable fact that the Hamiltonian is not a square root is a direct consequence of the time-gauge choice in this model. No additional assumptions or sign choices are necessary to obtain this crucial feature. In this way we clarify a point recently debated in the literature.
