Description
This paper studies the reduced phase space formulation (relational formalism) of gravity coupling to the Brown-Kuchař dust for asymptotic flat spacetimes. A set of boundary conditions for the asymptotic flatness are formulated for Dirac observables on the reduced phase space. The physical Hamiltonian generates the time translation of the dust clock. We compute the boundary term of the physical Hamiltonian, which is identical to the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass. We construct a set of the symmetry charges on the reduced phase space, which are conserved by the physical Hamiltonian evolution. The symmetry charges generate transformations preserving the asymptotically flat boundary condition. Under the reduced-phase-space Poisson bracket, the symmetry charges form an infinite dimensional Lie algebra after adding a central charge. A suitable quotient of is analogous to the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs algebra at spatial infinity by Henneaux and Troessaert.
