It is shown that given any “good” coordinate condition in Hamiltonian general relativity one can construct an associated many-time formulation in which the constraints can be solved for some of the momenta as functionals of the remaining canonical variables. Since good coordinate conditions appear to be available for both open and closed spaces it follows that the functional wave equation for general relativity can be always put in a Tomonaga-Schwinger form. The implications of this result and some open problems are briefly discussed.
