It should be noted that in the case of compact Cauchy surfaces, the space of gravitational degrees of freedom has had all of the dynamical degrees of freedom factored ouL For some purposes this may be undesirable and a less severe identification may be wanted. (See York, 1972, and F1scher and Marsden, 1977.) One uses the more general reduction procedure described in Weinstein (1977) and Abraham and Marsden (1978).Attached Files
