An outstanding open issue in our quest for physics beyond Einstein is the unification of
general relativity (GR) and quantum physics. Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a leading …

By virtue of the Noether theorems, the vast gauge redundancy of general relativity provides
us with a rich algebra of boundary charges that generate physical symmetries. These …

A bstract We propose an extension of the BMS group, which we refer to as Weyl BMS or
BMSW for short, that includes super-translations, local Weyl rescalings and arbitrary …

A bstract We initiate a study of gravity focusing on generic null hypersurfaces, non-
perturbatively in the Newton coupling. We present an off-shell account of the extended …

In this paper we extract from a large-r expansion of the vacuum Einstein's equations a
dynamical system governing the time evolution of an infinity of higher-spin charges. Upon …

A bstract We develop the covariant phase space formalism allowing for non-vanishing flux,
anomalies, and field dependence in the vector field generators. We construct a charge …

A bstract This is the first paper in a series devoted to understanding the classical and
quantum nature of edge modes and symmetries in gravitational systems. The goal of this …

A bstract In this second paper of the series we continue to spell out a new program for
quantum gravity, grounded in the notion of corner symmetry algebra and its representations …

A bstract Previous work on black hole partition functions and entanglement entropy suggests
the existence of “edge” degrees of freedom living on the (stretched) horizon. We identify a …

We revisit the problem of extending the phase space of diffeomorphism-invariant theories to
account for embeddings associated with the boundary of subregions. We do so by …
