Motivated by the equivalence between soft graviton theorem and Ward identities for the supertranslation symmetries belonging to the BMS group, we propose a new extension (different from the so-called extended BMS) of the BMS group which is a semi-direct product of supertranslations and Diff(S^2). We propose a definition for the canonical generators associated to the smooth diffeomorphisms and show that the resulting Ward identities are equivalent to the subleading soft graviton theorem of Cachazo and Strominger.

  1. An algebra of proper observables at null infinity: Dirac brackets, Memory and Goldstone probes

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The algebra of proper observables at null infinity admits Goldstone probes that measure the memory mode, but none can be built from shear or news alone, and the Dirac brackets acquire non-local corrections.

  2. Mixed-helicity bracket of celestial symmetries

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Restricting one helicity to the wedge sector and introducing shadow charges yields closed mixed-helicity algebras for all spins in gravity and gauge theory, plus dual mass BMS extensions and non-vanishing electromagne...
