Previous analyses of asymptotic symmetries in QED have shown that the subleading soft photon theorem implies a Ward identity corresponding to a charge generating divergent large gauge transformations on the asymptotic states at null infinity. In this work, we demonstrate that the subleading soft photon theorem is equivalent to a more general Ward identity. The charge corresponding to this Ward identity can be decomposed into an electric piece and a magnetic piece. The electric piece generates the Ward identity that was previously studied, but the magnetic piece is novel, and implies the existence of an additional asymptotic "magnetic" symmetry in QED.

  1. Logarithmic Soft Photon Theorem and Waveform Tails in Higher Dimensions

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In d>4, soft photon emission acquires a universal omega^{d-4} ln omega factor, producing power-law early- and late-time radiative tails in the classical electromagnetic waveform.

  2. Infinite Symmetry Algebras in Four-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Universal light-ray operators from the stress tensor generate the wedge subalgebra of w_{1+∞} in generic interacting 4D CFTs, with finite one-point functions matching the full tower of soft graviton and gluon factors.
