Some comments on the Hamiltonian for Unimodular Gravity
arXiv:2107.08893 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.084096
Abstract
Several alternative formulations of the first order approach to unimodular gravity are presented. There is always a particular one such that it is {\em classically} equivalent to the second order formulation; this we call {\em educated}. It is often at variance with the {\em naive} approach, in which the lagrangian is taken as given exactly by the same expression as in the second order formulation; only the number and character of the independent variables changes. Namely, typically some of the momenta are now considered as coordinates. The ensuing Hamiltonians are thereby discussed and their physical differences pointed out.
