Write . Use the curvature convention

The retained XI-A normalization is

There is no cosmological-constant term and no gravitational switch in (eq:EH) CheungXIA.

The ramp regulates the inherited relational coordinate prescription. It does not multiply the Einstein–Hilbert density.

Actions mean variational functionals under compact interior variations and compact differences. Their values need not be finite numbers on arbitrary noncompact smooth configurations. No boundary variation of the metric is taken.

Define

The single gauge-fixing term is

Its coefficient is frozen. No gauge-parameter family is used.
