Title: Poisson brackets of the constraints in the Hamiltonian formulation of tetrad gravity

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The Poisson brackets of the constraints are explicitly computed for various equivalent forms of canonical gravity with tetrads. This study sheds useful insights on the supergravity ''algebra'' and is necessary for the Hamiltonian formulation of the path integral. The shortcomings of a method devised some time ago for this kind of calculations are clarified.
