abstract

The surface charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS$_4$ spacetimes without matter is derived without assuming any boundary conditions. Surface charges associated with Weyl rescalings are vanishing while the boundary diffeomorphism charge algebra is non-trivially represented without central extension. The $\Lambda$-BMS$_4$ charge algebra is obtained after specifying a boundary foliation and a boundary measure. The existence of the flat limit requires the addition of corner terms in the action and symplectic structure that are defined from the boundary foliation and measure. The flat limit then reproduces the BMS$_4$ charge algebra of supertranslations and super-Lorentz transformations acting on asymptotically locally flat spacetimes. The BMS$_4$ surface charges represent the BMS$_4$ algebra without central extension at the corners of null infinity under the standard Dirac bracket, which implies that the BMS$_4$ flux algebra admits no non-trivial central extension.

  1. Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes are brought into a generalized Bondi gauge with finite radial expansion, producing new flux-balance laws, Carroll-boost symmetries, and finite supertranslated Kerr–Taub–NUT metrics.

  2. On Carrollian and Celestial Correlators in General Dimensions

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit two-, three-, and four-point Carrollian and celestial amplitudes for massless scalars in D dimensions, connected to the flat/Carrollian limit of AdS/CFT correlators.

  3. Gauge Symmetries, Exact Symmetries and Conserved Charges in Minimal Massive Gravity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Minimal Massive Gravity has three gauge symmetries, and a newly constructed transformation generates exact symmetries and a conserved charge in a restricted parameter limit.

  4. Supertranslations in the bulk of spacetime

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Supertranslations can be defined in the bulk as changes of null hypersurfaces, extending boundary symmetries into the interior and producing a curvature-dependent memory effect in Schwarzschild.

  5. Nonperfect Carrollian Fluids Through Holography

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Bulk gravitational radiation, diagnosed by the Fernández-Álvarez–Senovilla criterion, is dual to dissipative (Carrollian) boundary-fluid data, with an entropy-flux law and a Robinson-Trautman worked example.

    This thesis derives deformations of celestial chiral algebras in self-dual gravity on curved backgrounds, obtaining W(infinity) on Eguchi-Hanson space, Ldiff_q(C) under Moyal deformation, and a two-parameter deformati...
