Abstract
The Hamiltonian form of the Hilbert action in the first-order tetrad f ormalism is examined. We perform a nonlinear field redefinition of the canonical variables isolating the part of the spin connection which i s canonically conjugate to the tetrad. The geometrical meaning of the constraints written in these new variables is examined.
