Recently Sahoo and Sen obtained a series of remarkable results concerning sub-leading soft photon and graviton theorems in four dimensions. Even though the S- matrix is infrared divergent, they have shown that the sub-leading soft theorems are well defined and exact statements in QED and perturbative Quantum Gravity. However unlike the well studied Cachazo-Strominger soft theorems in tree-level amplitudes, the new sub-leading soft expansion is at the order ln {\omega} (where {\omega} is the soft frequency) and the corresponding soft factors structurally show completely different properties then their tree-level counterparts. Whence it is natural to ask if these theorems are associated to asymptotic symmetries of the S-matrix. We consider this question in the context of sub-leading soft photon theorem in scalar QED and show that there are indeed an infinity of conservation laws whose Ward identities are equivalent to the loop-corrected soft photon theorem. This shows that in the case of four dimensional QED, the leading and sub-leading soft photon theorems are equivalent to Ward identities of (asymptotic) charges.

Logarithmic Soft Photon Theorem and Waveform Tails in Higher Dimensions
In d>4, soft photon emission acquires a universal omega^{d-4} ln omega factor, producing power-law early- and late-time radiative tails in the classical electromagnetic waveform.

Exact Infrared Triangle in Massless sQED with Long-range Interactions
In massless scalar QED, the divergent-superphaserotation charge is exactly zero at logarithmic order, making the logarithmic infrared triangle trivial (vanishing soft theorem, charge, and memory tail).

Flat Holography & Holographic Renormalization: Scalar Field
A Hamilton-Jacobi holographic renormalization scheme for scalars in Minkowski space yields a GKPW-style flat holography dictionary: source = scattering data, vev = renormalized momentum, with correlators matching the ...

Subleading Asymptotic Charges in Massless Scalar QED
In massless scalar QED with 1/u tail data, three conserved asymptotic charges exist at null infinity; one is new and is conjecturally tied to large gauge transformations that diverge linearly in retarded time.

Subleading soft radiation during scattering of dressed states in QED
With subleading-corrected Faddeev-Kulish dressing, tree-level QED bremsstrahlung below the dressing scale vanishes, and elastic dressed amplitudes equal the infrared-finite part of Fock amplitudes.

Lectures on Carrollian Holography
Massless scattering amplitudes, including gravitons, can be recast as correlators of a carrollian conformal field theory on null infinity, but the non-perturbative bootstrap program remains incomplete.
