Unimodular gauge fixing in general relativity revisited

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2020-04-06 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We study a slight variation of the unimodular gauge condition which we call "the derivative gauge condition". We show that at the classical level these conditions are completely equivalent up to a surface term. At the quantum level the derivative gauge condition can be easily implemented by analogy with gauge fixing in a quantum gauge theory. This condition might have advantages and disadvantages upon the context.
