Let be a Cauchy hypersurface with induced metric , lapse , shift , and future unit normal . For the normalization of the action in the question, the canonical momentum density isThe equal-time canonical commutation relations areandWith the conventional extra factor in the action, loses the factor two.
For complex classical solutions, the Klein-Gordon inner product isThe integrand is a conserved current because both fields obey the Klein-Gordon equation. Applying the divergence theorem between two Cauchy hypersurfaces shows that the value is independent of the foliation, provided there is no boundary flux.
