abstract

Using the Frobenius formula, we evaluate characters associated with certain induced representations of the centrally extended BMS$_3$ group. This computation involves a functional integral over a coadjoint orbit of the Virasoro group; a delta function localizes the integral to a single point, allowing us to obtain an exact result. The latter is independent of the specific form of the functional measure, and holds for all values of the BMS$_3$ central charges and all values of the chosen mass and spin. It can also be recovered as a flat limit of Virasoro characters.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Three-dimensional flat-space gravity, despite having no propagating gravitons, exhibits an infrared triangle: a soft graviton theorem, BMS3 asymptotic symmetries, and gravitational memory effects, all equivalent throu...

  2. Modular Hamiltonian and entanglement entropy in the BMS free fermion theory

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the BMS free fermion model, the two-interval modular Hamiltonian has local plus bi-local terms, and the vacuum entanglement entropy for n intervals is the chiral-CFT formula with c_L=1 and c_M=0.

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Explicit modular S and T matrices are derived for Carrollian (bms3) and warped CFT characters, with checks of S squared and unitarity.
