Abstract

We study a bosonic scalar in (1 + 1)-dimensional curved space that is coupled to a dynamical metric field. This metric, along with the affine connection, also appears in the Einstein-Hilbert action √-gg ^μν R_μν(Γ) when written in first-order form. After applying the Dirac constraint formalism to the Einstein-Hilbert action and the action of the bosonic scalar field separately, we apply it to these actions when they are combined. Only in the latter case does a dynamical degree of freedom emerge.
