Canonical formulation of higher order theory of gravity requires to fix (in addition to the metric), the scalar curvature, which is acceleration in disguise, at the boundary. On the contrary, for the same purpose, Ostrogradski's or Dirac's technique of constrained analysis, and Horowit'z formalism, tacitly assume velocity (in addition to the co-ordinate) to be fixed at the end points. In the process when applied to gravity, Gibbons–Hawking–York term disappears. To remove such contradiction and to set different higher order theories on the same footing, we propose to fix acceleration at the endpoints/boundary. However, such proposition is not compatible to Ostrogradski's or Dirac's technique. Here, we have modified Horowitz's technique of using an auxiliary variable, to establish a one-to-one correspondence between different higher order theories. Although, the resulting Hamiltonian is related to the others under canonical transformation, we have proved that this is not true in general. We have also demonstrated how higher order terms can regulate the issue of branched Hamiltonian.

Metric variation of higher order theory of gravity requires fixing of the Ricci scalar in addition to the metric tensor at the boundary. Fixing Ricci scalar at the boundary implies that the classical solutions are fixed once and forever to the de Sitter or anti-de Sitter (dS/AdS) solutions. Here, we justify such requirement from the standpoint of Noether symmetry.

We investigate whether the gravitational thermodynamic properties of the scalar-tensor theory of gravity are affected by the conformal transformation or not. As an explicit example, we consider an electrically charged static spherical black hole in four-dimensional low energy effective theory of bosonic string.
