$\theta$-Term and Cosmological Constant from CJD Action

Abstract

In the gravity without metric formalism of Capovilla, Jacobson and Dell, the topological $\theta$-term appears through a canonical transformation.The origin of this canonical transformation is probed here. It is shown here that when $\theta$-term appears cosmological $\lambda$-term also appears simultaneously.
