Abstract

The Hamiltonian for the Einstein equations is constructed on a outgoing null cone with the help of the usual null tetrad. The resulting null surface constraints are shown to be second class in the terminology of Dirac. These second class constraints are eliminated by use of the “starring” procedure of Bergmann and Komar
