abstract
Asymptotic symmetries at future null infinity (I+) of Minkowski space for electrodynamics with massless charged fields, as well as non-Abelian gauge theories with gauge group G, are considered at the semiclassical level. The possibility of charge/color flux through I+ suggests the symmetry group is infinite-dimensional. It is conjectured that the symmetries include a G Kac-Moody symmetry whose generators are "large" gauge transformations which approach locally holomorphic functions on the conformal two-sphere at I+ and are invariant under null translations. The Kac-Moody currents are constructed from the gauge field at the future boundary of I+. The current Ward identities include Weinberg's soft photon theorem and its colored extension.

The authors define a locality condition for hard-mode states during inflation that unifies local effective dynamics for soft modes, suppression of loop corrections, generalized soft theorems, and absence of infrared divergences in observable correlators.
A conformal map identifies the flat-space soft gluon S-algebra with light-ray operators built from CFT3 currents and their descendants in AdS4.
Scalar, vector, and tensor spherical harmonics on dS3 are constructed with explicit antipodal relationships between past and future asymptotic data, even with sources, plus decomposition theorems for tensors obeying inhomogeneous wave equations.
A recursive construction expands tree YM amplitudes to YMS and BAS amplitudes from soft theorems while preserving gauge invariance at each step.
Restricting one helicity to the wedge sector and introducing shadow charges yields closed mixed-helicity algebras for all spins in gravity and gauge theory, plus dual mass BMS extensions and non-vanishing electromagnetic central charges.
Relates free scalar in Minkowski space to codimension-two sphere field via Radon transform to dS/EAdS slice and bulk reconstruction, with Mellin modes as generalized hypergeometric functions via Lee-Pomeransky method.
Tree-level amplitudes for Yang-Mills-scalar, pure Yang-Mills, Einstein-Yang-Mills and gravitational theories are reconstructed from soft theorems, universality of soft factors and double copy, with explicit soft factors determined.
1-form symmetries in the QED soft sector generate asymptotic charges whose central extension implies soft photon theorems and fixes a two-soft-photon contact term.
Higher spin particles generate w_∞ and S-algebra subalgebras inside the soft holographic symmetry algebra that do not commute with the graviton and gluon versions.
