The Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) formalism (named for its authors Richard Arnowitt, Stanley Deser and Charles W. Misner) is a Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity that plays an important role in canonical quantum gravity and numerical relativity. It was first published in 1959.[2]
The comprehensive review of the formalism that the authors published in 1962[3] has been reprinted in the journal General Relativity and Gravitation,[4] while the original papers can be found in the archives of Physical Review.[2][5]
