We define the mass and current multipole moments for an arbitrary theory of gravity in terms of canonical Noether charges associated with specific residual transformations in canonical harmonic gauge, which we call multipole symmetries. We show that our definition exactly matches Thorne's mass and current multipole moments in Einstein gravity, which are defined in terms of metric components. For radiative configurations, the total multipole charges -- including the contributions from the source and the radiation -- are given by surface charges at spatial infinity, while the source multipole moments are naturally identified by surface integrals in the near-zone or, alternatively, from a regularization of the Noether charges at null infinity. The conservation of total multipole charges is used to derive the variation of source multipole moments in the near-zone in terms of the flux of multipole charges at null infinity.

  1. Source and Response Soft Charges for Maxwell Theory on $AdS_d$

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Maxwell theory on AdS_d has two boundary gauge symmetry sectors, source and response, whose soft charges obey an infinite-dimensional Heisenberg algebra; only the source sector survives the flat-space limit.

  2. Entanglement entropy of linearized gravitons in a sphere

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A linearized graviton field in a sphere has entanglement entropy equal to that of two massless scalars with l=0 and l=1 modes removed, giving a logarithmic coefficient of -61/45.

  3. Leading Higher Derivative Corrections to Multipole Moments of Kerr-Newman Black Hole

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The 4-derivative corrections to Kerr-Newman multipole moments depend only on field-redefinition-invariant couplings, and parity-odd terms turn on multipole moments that vanish in Einstein-Maxwell theory.
