abstract
Soft graviton theorems receive one-loop contributions that are logarithmic in the energy of the soft graviton, and which are closely related to tails of gravitational waveforms. We demonstrate that these logarithmic corrections are encoded in the Ward identity of superrotation symmetries, i.e. they follow from conservation of superrotation charge across spatial infinity $i^0$. Our proof relies on a careful analysis of the radiative phase space admitting such gravitational tails, and the determination of the fluxes through null infinity $\mathscr I$ that act as canonical generators of superrotations on both gravitational and matter fields. All logarithmic terms are derived from the fluxes through correlations of the supertranslation Goldstone mode, provided care is taken in manipulating gravitationally interacting (i.e. dressed) rather than free fields. In cases where massive particles take part in the scattering process, logarithmic corrections also partly arise from the superrotation charge generator at timelike infinity $i^\pm$.

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.

Log translation invariance of log soft gravitational radiation
The universal log soft graviton factors are invariant under logarithmic translations, which explains the cancellation of outgoing massless contributions and yields a recurrence constraint on higher-order log soft terms.

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.

Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes
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.

Gravitational memory and Ward identities in the local detector frame
Gravitational memory in TT gauge is encoded in large residual diffeomorphisms that equal BMS transformations, and their Ward identities yield soft graviton theorems and flat-space consistency relations.

Gravitational memory and soft theorems: The local perspective
Gravitational memory is shown to be a large residual coordinate transformation in TT gauge, yielding new flat-space soft theorems for equal-time correlators that mirror inflationary consistency relations.

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.
