We show that the asymptotic symmetries close to nonextremal black hole horizons are generated by an extension of supertranslations. This group is generated by a semidirect sum of Virasoro and Abelian currents. The charges associated with the asymptotic Killing symmetries satisfy the same algebra. When considering the special case of a stationary black hole, the zero mode charges correspond to the angular momentum and the entropy at the horizon.

  1. Shaving off soft hairs and the black hole image memory effect

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Soft-haired Kerr black holes show rotated, dilated, drifting images and an image memory effect when soft hair changes via waves, with the effect scaling with the large black hole's mass and spin.

  2. Dimensional reduction of AdS3 Chern-Simons gravity: Schwarzian and affine boundary theories

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Symmetry reduction of 3D AdS Chern-Simons gravity on toroidal boundary yields two inequivalent 1D boundary theories: standard Schwarzian and affine-deformed Schwarzian with Kac-Moody extensions.

  3. Lectures on the Bondi--Metzner--Sachs group and related topics in infrared physics

    gr-qc 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Lecture notes that build the BMS group from prerequisites to applications in soft theorems, memory effects, and new material on asymptotic conformal Killing horizons.
