Abstract: (arXiv)
A new canonical transformation is found that enables the direct canonical treatment of the conformal factor in general relativity. The resulting formulation significantly simplifies the previously presented conformal geometrodynamics. It provides a further theoretical basis for the conformal approach to loop quantum gravity and offers a generic framework for the conformal analysis of spacetime dynamics.
