BMS Supertranslation Symmetry Implies Faddeev-Kulish Amplitudes
read the original abstract
We show explicitly that, among the scattering amplitudes constructed from eigenstates of the BMS supertranslation charge, the ones that conserve this charge, are equal to those constructed from Faddeev-Kulish states. Thus, Faddeev-Kulish states naturally arise as a consequence of the asymptotic symmetries of perturbative gravity and all charge conserving amplitudes are infrared finite. In the process we show an important feature of the Faddeev-Kulish clouds dressing the external hard particles: these clouds can be moved from the incoming states to the outgoing ones, and vice-versa, without changing the infrared finiteness properties of S matrix elements. We also apply our discussion to the problem of the decoherence of momentum configurations of hard particles due to soft boson effects.

On Carrollian Loop Amplitudes for Gauge Theory and Gravity
Loop-level Carrollian amplitudes in N=4 SYM and N=8 supergravity are differential operators on tree-level versions, with logarithmic eikonal behavior and IR-safe factorization via natural splitting.

On Carrollian Loop Amplitudes for Gauge Theory and Gravity
Loop-level Carrollian amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity preserve tree-level structures, show logarithmic dependence in the eikonal regime, and factorize to yield an IR-safe definition.
