The reduced phase space of a field theory is the space of its possible initial conditions endowed with a natural symplectic structure. An alternative to Dirac’s method, relying on natural geometric aspects of variational problems, was introduced by Kijowski and Tulczijev. This method also has the advantage of having a natural generalization in the BV context. In this talk, I will explain the method and describe some examples, focusing in particular on the tetradic version of general relativity in four dimensions.
