Celestial holography: An asymptotic symmetry perspective

L Donnay - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
We review the role that infinite-dimensional symmetries arising at the boundary of
asymptotically flat spacetimes play in the context of the celestial holography program. Once …

Superrotations at spacelike infinity

A Fiorucci, J Matulich, R Ruzziconi - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We propose a consistent set of boundary conditions for gravity in asymptotically flat
spacetime at spacelike infinity, which yields an enhancement of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs …

Renormalization of spin-one asymptotic charges in AdSD

A Campoleoni, A Delfante, D Francia… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We study the renormalized action and the renormalized presymplectic potential for
Maxwell fields on Anti de Sitter backgrounds of any dimensions. We then use these results …

Flat holography and celestial shockwaves

Z Hao, M Taylor - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we systematically develop the flat/CFT holographic dictionary,
building on AdS/CFT holography. After analysing the behaviour of scalar field modes on …

Gravitational Poisson brackets at null infinity compatible with smooth superrotations

M Campiglia, A Sudhakar - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Superrotations are local extensions of the Lorentz group at null infinity that have
been argued to be symmetries of gravitational scattering. In their smooth version, they can …

All symmetries of near-horizon scattering

A Aggarwal, N Gaddam - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.05775, 2023 - arxiv.org
Asymptotic symmetries are known to constrain the infrared behaviour of scattering
processes in asymptotically flat spacetimes. By the same token, one expects symmetries of …

The symplectic potential for leaky boundaries

R McNees, C Zwikel - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.13203, 2024 - arxiv.org
Charges associated with gauge symmetries are defined on boundaries of spacetimes. But
these constructions typically involve divergent quantities when considering asymptotic …

An Infrared On-Shell Action and its Implications for Soft Charge Fluctuations in Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes

T He, AM Raclariu, KM Zurek - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.01485, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the infrared on-shell action of Einstein gravity in asymptotically flat spacetimes,
obtaining an effective, gauge-invariant boundary action for memory and shockwave …

Fermionic asymptotic symmetries in massless QED

A Agriela, M Campiglia - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We consider soft electrons in massless QED at tree level. The emission amplitude at leading
order in the soft electron energy factorizes in a way similar to the soft photon case. We recast …
