Abstract
The constraint algebra is derived in the second order tetrad Hamiltonian formalism of the bigravity. This is done by a straightforward calculation without involving any insights, implicit functions, and Dirac brackets. The tetrad approach is the only way to present the bigravity action as a linear functional of lapses and shifts and the Hassan–Rosen transform (characterized as ‘a complicated redefinition of the shift variable’ according to the authors) appears here not as an ansatz but as fixing of a Lagrange multiplier. A comparison of this approach with the other ones is provided.
