A Lie-Rinehart algebra in general relativity

Abstract: Blohmann, Schiavina, and I have found a Lie-Rinehart algebra on a graded extension of the space of initial values for the Einstein equations whose bracket relations match those of the constraints on the initial values.

This will be a follow-up to last year's talk, but I will not assume that anyone has heard it.
