abstract

It has been argued that the symmetries of gravity at null infinity should include a Diff$(S^2)$ factor associated to diffeomorphisms on the celestial sphere. However, the standard phase space of gravity does not support the action of such transformations. Building on earlier work by Laddha and one of the authors, we present an extension of the phase space of gravity at null infinity on which Diff$(S^2)$ acts canonically. The Poisson brackets of supertranslation and Diff$(S^2)$ charges reproduce the generalized BMS algebra introduced in arXiv:1408.2228 .

  1. Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Twisting asymptotically-flat spacetimes are brought into a generalized Bondi gauge with finite radial expansion, producing new flux-balance laws, Carroll-boost symmetries, and finite supertranslated Kerr–Taub–NUT metrics.

  2. Multiparticle States for the Flat Hologram

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper defines and constructs composite or multiparticle primary operators for Carrollian and celestial CFTs using OPE blocks and momentum-space partial waves, extending the flat-space dictionary beyond single-part...

  3. Field-dependent diffeomorphisms and the transformation of surface charges between gauges

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Weyl charge in (A)dS3 gravity is kinematical: it can be toggled on or off by a field-dependent diffeomorphism between Bondi-Sachs and Fefferman-Graham gauges.

  4. Supertranslations in the bulk of spacetime

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Supertranslations can be defined in the bulk as changes of null hypersurfaces, extending boundary symmetries into the interior and producing a curvature-dependent memory effect in Schwarzschild.
