24. In the present paper, we focus on the group of diffeomorphisms of four-dimensional (spacetime) manifolds. One often finds formalisms based on a different group, (Formula presented), for instance Fischer 39;it is also this group of three-dimensional diffeomorphisms that play a crucial role in the Ashtekar 40 approach to quantum gravity. Our approach includes the symmetry with respect to (Formula presented).
