13. This field can also be interpreted as a dynamical one, in which case it possesses equations of motion. These equations dynamically enforce the Pontryagin constraint.
14. We here correct a mistake in, where the Levi-Civita tensor was used instead of the symbol, which in the linearized theory are equivalent up to terms of O(h)2.
