abstract

These notes are an introduction to asymptotic symmetries in gauge theories, with a focus on general relativity in four dimensions. We explain how to impose consistent sets of boundary conditions in the gauge fixing approach and how to derive the asymptotic symmetry parameters. The different procedures to obtain the associated charges are presented. As an illustration of these general concepts, the examples of four-dimensional general relativity in asymptotically (locally) (A)dS$_4$ and asymptotically flat spacetimes are covered. This enables us to discuss the different extensions of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs-van der Burg (BMS) group and their relevance for holography, soft gravitons theorems, memory effects, and black hole information paradox. These notes are based on lectures given at the XV Modave Summer School in Mathematical Physics.

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    All ten SO(1,4) flux-balance laws for quadrupolar perturbations around de Sitter are derived, including new linear momentum and boost formulas, and the flat limit is recovered.

  2. Soft gravitons in three dimensions

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Three-dimensional flat-space gravity, despite having no propagating gravitons, exhibits an infrared triangle: a soft graviton theorem, BMS3 asymptotic symmetries, and gravitational memory effects, all equivalent throu...

  3. Sound as a gauge theory and its infrared triangle

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Linear acoustic perturbations admit a memory effect that, in a dual Kalb-Ramond formulation, is encoded by large gauge transformations plus a monopole piece.

    New exact Schwarzschild-like, (A)dS-like, and charged black holes in bumblebee gravity with a two-component vector VEV keep Lorentz-violating corrections even when the VEV is lightlike, with Wald and first-law entropi...
