dc.description.abstractIsolated and Dynamical horizons are used to generate boundary conditions upon the lapse and shift vectors. Numerous results involving the Hamiltonian of General relativity are derived, including a self-contained derivation of the Hamiltonian equations of general relativity using both a direct 'brute force' method of directly computing Lie derivatives, as well as the standard Hamil- tonian approach. Conclusions are compared to numerous examples, including the Kerr, Schwarzschild-De Sitter, McVittie, and Vaiyda spacetimes.en
