Abstract
We obtain the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation of general relativity in dimensions () from its either [] or Palatini Hamiltonian formulations and vice versa [we recall that [] requires no gauge fixing whereas involves the time gauge]. Similarly, the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity in terms of Ashtekar-Barbero variables can also be directly obtained from the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner Hamiltonian formulation and vice versa, which is an alternative approach to the way followed by Barbero. We give the relevant maps among the phase-space variables and relate the corresponding symplectic structures and the first-class constraints.
