Abstract

In this short note we perform canonical analysis of Eddington gravity using L. Faddeev and Jackiw formalism. We demonstrate that resulting canonical action has the same form as General Relativity canonical action which proves an equivalence of Eddington gravity and General Relativity in Hamiltonian formalism.
