can you construct (or if yes, is it regularly done) a Hamiltonian in curved spacetime? If you took a system and moved it into a strong gravitational field or accelerated it to relativistic speeds can you still do Hamiltonian mechanics?

would it then follow that this commutation relationship (with the addition of time) would give you the metric tensor?
