2-Form Gravity of the Lorentzian Signature

Abstract

We introduce a new spinorial, BF-like action for the Einstein gravity. This is a first, up to our knowledge, 2-form action which describes the real, Lorentzian gravity and uses only the self-dual connection. In the generic case, the corresponding classical canonical theory is equivalent to the Einstein-Ashtekar theory plus the reality conditions.
