In the context of general relativity and the canonical formulation of the theory, the Hamiltonian constraint is a fundamental equation that arises in the process of quantizing gravity. It plays a key role in the framework known as Hamiltonian formalism or the ADM (Arnowitt-Deser-Misner) formulation of general relativity.
