The conventional gravitational memory effect is a relative displacement in the position of two detectors induced by radiative energy flux. We find a new type of gravitational `spin memory' in which beams on clockwise and counterclockwise orbits acquire a relative delay induced by radiative angular momentum flux. It has recently been shown that the displacement memory formula is a Fourier transform in time of Weinberg's soft graviton theorem. Here we see that the spin memory formula is a Fourier transform in time of the recently-discovered subleading soft graviton theorem.

  1. Gravitational Memory from Hairy Binary Black Hole Mergers

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Gravitational memory from hairy binary black hole mergers in scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity differs from GR by a few percent due to altered nonlinear dynamics, with direct scalar contributions suppressed, and including m...

  2. Scalar memory from compact binary coalescences

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    In Ricci-coupled scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, the change in scalar charge during binary black hole mergers generates a scalar memory contribution that modifies the total memory signal on observable timescales.

  3. Tree and $1$-loop fundamental BCJ relations from soft theorems

    hep-th 2023-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Derives the fundamental BCJ relation at tree level from soft theorems in bi-adjoint scalar theory, generalizes it to 1-loop integrands, and uses it to explain Adler zeros in other scalar theories.

  4. Finite-time memory detectors and fully constraining Faddeev-Kulish dressings in QED and gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Symmetry uniquely fixes finite-time Faddeev-Kulish dressings in QED and gravity so they reproduce classical memory, allowing recovery of first-order and higher-order gravitational memory in perturbative calculations.

  5. Toward claiming a detection of gravitational memory
