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 …

Logarithmic supertranslations and supertranslation-invariant Lorentz charges

O Fuentealba, M Henneaux, C Troessaert - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We extend the BMS (4) group by adding logarithmic supertranslations. This is done
by relaxing the boundary conditions on the metric and its conjugate momentum at spatial …

Asymptotic structure of the gravitational field in five spacetime dimensions: Hamiltonian analysis

O Fuentealba, M Henneaux, J Matulich… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We develop the analysis of the asymptotic properties of gravity in higher spacetime
dimensions D, with a particular emphasis on the case D= 5. Our approach deals with spatial …

BMS group at spatial infinity: the Hamiltonian (ADM) approach

M Henneaux, C Troessaert - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract New boundary conditions for asymptotically flat spacetimes are given at spatial
infinity. These boundary conditions are invariant under the BMS group, which acts non …

From asymptotic symmetries to the corner proposal

L Ciambelli - arxiv preprint arxiv:2212.13644, 2022 - arxiv.org
These notes are a transcript of lectures given by the author in the XVIII Modave summer
school in mathematical physics. The introduction is devoted to a detailed review of the …

Coadjoint representation of the BMS group on celestial Riemann surfaces

G Barnich, R Ruzziconi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract The coadjoint representation of the BMS group in four dimensions is constructed in
a formulation that covers both the sphere and the punctured plane. The structure constants …

Carrollian conservation laws and Ricci-flat gravity

L Ciambelli, C Marteau - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We construct the Carrollian equivalent of the relativistic energy–momentum tensor, based on
variation of the action with respect to the elementary fields of the Carrollian geometry. We …

Asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism at spatial infinity

M Henneaux, C Troessaert - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We analyse the asymptotic symmetries of Maxwell theory at spatial infinity through
the Hamiltonian formalism. Precise, consistent boundary conditions are explicitly given and …

Weyl charges in asymptotically locally spacetimes

F Alessio, G Barnich, L Ciambelli, P Mao, R Ruzziconi - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We discuss an enhancement of the Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions in three-
dimensional AdS general relativity to encompass Weyl transformations of the boundary …

Hamiltonian structure and asymptotic symmetries of the Einstein-Maxwell system at spatial infinity

M Henneaux, C Troessaert - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We present a new set of asymptotic conditions for gravity at spatial infinity that
includes gravitational magnetic-type solutions, allows for a non-trivial Hamiltonian action of …
