A proposed definition of asymptotically flat spacetimes enables proofs of antipodal matching conditions at spatial infinity for dual mass, shear tails, and peeling, expressed as boundary conservation laws.
Constructs a phase space for gravitational degrees of freedom on null ray segments with commuting localized observables via edge modes and dressing time, then introduces an effective classical theory with Virasoro deformations to capture diffeomorphism anomalies and distinguish gauge, physical, and
Fixing null-infinity boundary action ambiguities via 5-point amplitude constraints yields subleading soft theorems and proposes generalized Geroch-tensor Goldstone modes for sub^n-leading soft graviton insertions.
