Abstract
We describe the dynamics of a relativistic extended object in terms of the geometry of a configuration of constant time. This involves an adaptation o f the ADM formulation of canonical general relativity. We apply the formali sm to the hamiltonian formulation of a Dirac-Nambu-Goto [DNG] relativistic extended object in an arbitrary background spacetime.
