Sub-subleading Soft Graviton Theorem in Generic Theories of Quantum Gravity
read the original abstract
We analyze scattering amplitudes with one soft external graviton and arbitrary number of other finite energy external states carrying arbitrary mass and spin to sub-subleading order in the momentum of the soft graviton. Our result can be expressed as the sum of a universal part that depends only on the amplitude without the soft graviton and not the other details of the theory and a non-universal part that depends on the amplitude without the soft graviton, and the two and three point functions of the theory. For tree amplitudes our results are valid in all space-time dimensions while for loop amplitudes, infrared divergences force us to restrict our analysis to space time dimensions five or more. With this restriction the results are valid to all orders in perturbation theory. Our results agree with known results in quantum field theories and string theory.

On symmetries of gravitational on-shell boundary action at null infinity
Fixing null-infinity boundary action ambiguities via 5-point amplitude constraints yields subleading soft theorems and proposes generalized Geroch-tensor Goldstone modes for sub^n-leading soft graviton insertions.
