Abstract

We give a Hamiltonian formulation of %the first order Weyl--Einstein--Cartan gravity which is covariant from the viewpoint of the geometry of the principal fiber bundle. The connection is represented by a 11-form with values in the Poincar\'{e} Lie algebra, which is defined on the total space of the orthonormal frame bundle fibered over the space-time. Within the 1010-plectic framework we discover that the local equivariance property of the Cartan connection is a consequence of the Hamilton equations.
