Abstract
The theory of gravitation is usually expressed in terms of an arbitrary system of coordinates. This results in the appearance of weak equations connecting the Hamiltonian dynamical variables that describe a state at a certain time, leading to supplementary conditions on the wave function after quantization. It is then difficult to specify the initial state in any practical problem.Keywords
