Of those gauge theories of gravity known to be equivalent to general relativity, only the biconformal gauging introduces new structures — the quotient of the conformal group of any pseudo-Euclidean space by its Weyl subgroup always has natural symplectic and metric structures. Using this metric and symplectic form, we show that there exist canonically conjugate, orthogonal, metric submanifolds if and only if the original gauged space is Euclidean or signature 0. In the Euclidean cases, the resultant configuration space must be Lorentzian. Therefore, in this context, time may be viewed as a derived property of general relativity.

The equivalence between the Dirac method and Faddeev–Jackiw analysis for gauge theories is proven. In particular we trace out, in a stage-by-stage procedure, the standard classification of first and second class constraints of Dirac's method in the F–J approach. We also find that the Darboux transformation implied in the F–J reduction process can be viewed as a canonical transformation in Dirac approach. Unlike Dirac's method, the F–J analysis is a classical reduction procedure. The quantization can be achieved only in the framework of reduce and then quantize approach with all the known problems that this type of procedure presents. Finally we illustrate the equivalence by means of a particular example.
