abstract
Asymptotically flat spacetimes have been studied in five separate regions: future/past timelike infinity $i^\pm$, future/past null infinity $\mathcal{I}^\pm$, and spatial infinity $i^0$. We formulate assumptions and definitions such that the five infinities share a single Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group of asymptotic symmetries and associated charges. We show how individual ingoing/outgoing massive bodies may be ascribed initial/final BMS charges and derive global conservation laws stating that the change in total charge is balanced by the corresponding radiative flux. This framework provides a foundation for the study of asymptotically flat spacetimes containing ingoing and outgoing massive bodies, i.e., for generalized gravitational scattering. Among the new implications are rigorous definitions for quantities like initial/final spin, scattering angle, and impact parameter in multi-body spacetimes, without the use of any preferred background structure.

Supertranslations are Soft Dressings
Coherent-state dressings by zero-energy gravitons are equivalent to BMS supertranslations, and the associated conserved charge produces a universal, all-orders shift of the scattering impact parameter.

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 ...

From spatial to null infinity: Connecting initial data to peeling
For asymptotically regular spacetimes, parity-time reversal symmetry of the leading and subleading initial data implies the Weyl scalars Psi2 and Psi1 peel at null infinity with rates 1/r^3 and 1/r^4.

The Confluent Heun functions in Black Hole Perturbation Theory: a spacetime interpretation
Each of the eight homotopic Heun forms of the radial Teukolsky equation corresponds to a horizon-penetrating constant-time slice of Kerr spacetime, ending at null, spatial, or timelike infinity.

The $SO(1,4)$ flux-balance laws of de Sitter at quadrupolar order
All ten SO(1,4) flux-balance laws for quadrupolar perturbations around de Sitter are derived, including new linear momentum and boost formulas, and the flat limit is recovered.

Aspects of Carrollian field theory from holography
The holographic stress tensor at null infinity in three-dimensional flat gravity reproduces the known BMS3 central charges c_L=0 and c_M=3/G_N, and yields the expected Ward identities and Schwarzian boundary action.

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.
