DESCRIPTION:Understanding the full dynamics (Hamiltonian structure\, numbe
 r of physical degrees of freedom\, etc) of theories of gravity with quadra
 tic or higher order curvature interactions is normally very difficult. A n
 otably exception occurs with the Gauss-Bonnet interaction (with the metric
  and connection treated as independent variables). We will show that this 
 theory possesses a large and unexpected set of local symmetries allowing a
  full understanding of its classical dynamics.
