Abstract
We study embedding gravity, a modified theory of gravity, in which our space-time is assumed to be a four-dimensional surface in flat ten-dimensional space. Based on a simple geometric idea, this theory can be reformulated as General Relativity with additional degrees of freedom and contribution to action, which can be interpreted as describing dark matter. We study the canonical formalism for such a formulation of embedding gravity. After solving simple constraints, the Hamiltonian is reduced to a linear combination of four first class constraints with Lagrange multipliers. There still remain six pairs of second class constraints. Possible ways of taking these constraints into account are discussed. We show that one way of solving the constraints leads to the canonical system going into the previously known canonical formulation of the complete embedding theory with an implicitly defined constraint.
