Multimomentum Maps in General Relativity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The properties of multimomentum maps on null hypersurfaces, and their relation with the constraint analysis of General Relativity, are described. Unlike the case of spacelike hypersurfaces, some constraints which are second class in the Hamiltonian formalism turn out to contribute to the multimomentum map.
