Corner symmetry and quantum geometry

L Freidel, M Geiller, W Wieland - Handbook of Quantum Gravity, 2024 - Springer
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 …

General gravitational charges on null hypersurfaces

G Odak, A Rignon-Bret, S Speziale - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We perform a detailed study of the covariance properties of the symplectic potential
of general relativity on a null hypersurface, and of the different polarizations that can be used …

[PDF][PDF] Celestial w1+∞ charges and the subleading structure of asymptotically-flat spacetimes

M Geiller - arXiv preprint arXiv:2403.05195, 2024 - scipost.org
We study the subleading structure of asymptotically-flat spacetimes and its relationship to
the w1+∞ loop algebra of higher spin charges. We do so using both the Bondi–Sachs and …

Null infinity as a weakly isolated horizon

A Ashtekar, S Speziale - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Null infinity, I+, arises as a boundary of the Penrose conformal completion (M^, g^ ab) of an
asymptotically flat physical space-time (M, gab). We first note that I+ is a weakly isolated …

Null infinity and horizons: A new approach to fluxes and charges

A Ashtekar, S Speziale - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We introduce a Hamiltonian framework tailored to degrees of freedom (DOF) of field theories
that reside in suitable 3-dimensional open regions, and then apply it to the gravitational DOF …

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 …

Centerless BMS charge algebra

A Rignon-Bret, S Speziale - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We show that when the Wald-Zoupas prescription is implemented, the resulting charges
realize the Bondi-Van der Burg–Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetry algebra without any 2 …

Second law from the Noether current on null hypersurfaces

A Rignon-Bret - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
I study the balance law equation of surface charges in the presence of background fields.
The construction allows a unified description of Noether's theorem for both global and local …

The gravitational phase space of horizons in general relativity

V Chandrasekaran, EE Flanagan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.03871, 2023 - arxiv.org
We provide a prescription for the phase space of general relativity on intersecting null
surfaces using the null initial value formulation. We extend previous work by enlarging the …
