In order to treat quantum cosmology in the framework of Weyl spacetimes we
take the first step of extending the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism to Weyl
geometry. We then obtain an expression of the curvature tensor in terms of
spatial quantities by splitting spacetime in (3+1)-dimensional form. We next
write the Lagrangian of the gravitation field based in Weyl-type gravity
theory. We extend the general relativistic formalism in such a way that it can
be applied to investigate the quantum cosmology of models whose spacetimes are
endowed with a Weyl geometrical structure.Comment: 10 page
