Die Arbeit weicht in der Bezeichnungsweise vom üblichen ab (Beispiel: Poisson Brackets) und besteht weitgehend aus Formeln mit unerklärten Symbolen, dies gerade auch im Anhang, der eigentlich der mathematischen Erläuterung dienen sollte. Fruchtbare neue Begriffsbildungen bzw. neuartige methodische Kunstgriffe scheint sie nicht zu enthalten. [For the reader's convenience the reviewer's comment is supplemented by the summary of this paper: ''We continue the previous discussion [\textit{A. D'Adda} and the authors, ibid. 165, 384-397 (1985; Zbl 0584.53042)] of the covariant canonical formalism for the group manifold and relate it to the standard canonical vierbein formalism as pioneered by Dirac. The form bracket is related to the Poisson bracket of classical mechanics. We utilize systematically the calculus of differential forms and a compound notation which labels Poincaré multiples. In this way we obtain a particularly clear and compact expression for the Hamiltonian and the constraint algebra of the vierbein formalism''].
