abstract

It is shown that the precession of a gyroscope can be used to elucidate the nature of the smoothness of the null infinity of an asymptotically flat spacetime (describing an isolated body). A model for which the effects of precession in the non-smooth null infinity case are of order $r^{-2}\ln r$ is proposed. By contrast, in the smooth version the effects are of order $r^{-3}$. This difference should provide an effective criterion to decide on the nature of the smoothness of null infinity.

  1. Flat Holography & Holographic Renormalization: Scalar Field

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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 ...

  2. Logarithmic matching between past infinity and future infinity: The massless scalar field

    gr-qc 2024-12 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Massless scalar fields with dominant logarithmic terms at null infinity obey an antipodal matching condition with a minus sign, opposite to the standard no-log matching.
