ADM formulation and Hamiltonian analysis of Coincident General Relativity

Abstract

We consider a simpler geometrical formulation of General Relativity based on non-metricity, known as Coincident General Relativity. We study the ADM formulation of the theory and perform a detailed Hamiltonian analysis. We explicitly show the propagation of two physical degrees of freedom, as it should, even though the role of boundary terms and gauge conditions is significantly altered. This might represent an alternative promising new route for numerical relativity and canonical quantum gravity. We also give an outlook on the number of propagating degrees of freedom in non-linear extension of non-metricity scalar.
