This leads to a rather natural formulation of a theory that has close links with Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. After introducing the theory and discussing its vacuum solutions, we present the Hamiltonian analysis. This implies the presence of a single dynamical degree of freedom, which is in sharp contrast to General Relativity, where there are no degrees of freedom in two spacetime dimensions. Our approach can be extended to various other lower-dimensional gravity theories and thus could be of wider interest. date: 2024-06-06 date_type: published publisher: World Scientific Pub Co Pte Ltd official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/s0218271824300015 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2301384 doi: 10.1142/s0218271824300015 lyricists_name: Boehmer, Christian lyricists_id: CGBOH42 actors_name: Boehmer, Christian actors_id: CGBOH42 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: International Journal of Modern Physics D issn: 0218-2718 citation: Bohmer, Christian G; Ferraro, Rafael; Fiorini, Franco; (2024) Teleparallel Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity.
