摘要

A frame independent, manifestly 4-covariant, reformulation of our covariant Hamiltonian formalism for dynamical geometry is presented. The validity of all the steps in the derivation of the Hamiltonian and the exact meaning of the quasi-local Hamiltonian boundary term expressions for the energy-momentum and angular momentum are thereby clarified.
