Adjointness Relations as a Criterion for Choosing an Inner Product

Abstract

This is a contribution to the forthcoming book "Canonical Gravity: {}From Classical to Quantum" edited by J. Ehlers and H. Friedrich. Ashtekar's criterion for choosing an inner product in the quantisation of constrained systems is discussed. An erroneous claim in a previous paper is corrected and a cautionary example is presented.
