Gauge symmetry and constraints structure for topologically massive AdS gravity: a symplectic viewpoint

Abstract By applying the Faddeev–Jackiw symplectic approach we systematically show that both the local gauge symmetry and the constraint structure of topologically massive gravity with a cosmological constant $$\Lambda $$ Λ , elegantly encoded in the zero-modes of the symplectic matrix, can be ident...
