A bstractWe describe the conformal symmetries of asymptotically flat spacetime. These represent an extension of the BMS group that we call the conformal BMS group. Its general features are discussed.
BMS in higher space-time dimensions and Non-relativistic BMS
Master's thesis. We present a study of the BMS Group is higher space-time dimensions, and the extension of this group to non-relativistic systems.

In this paper, the effects of adding spatial conformal symmetry to the asymptotic symmetry group of an asymptotically conformally flat spacetime are studied. It is shown that, in addition to the BMS

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

An explicit canonical realization of the conformal extension of BMS_{3} is shown to emerge from the asymptotic structure of conformal gravity in three dimensions, endowed with a new set of boundary conditions.

This is a redacted transcript of a course given by the author at Harvard in spring semester 2016. It contains a pedagogical overview of recent developments connecting the subjects of soft theorems,
Quantum BMS transformations in conformally flat space-times and holography
• Mathematics

We define and study asymptotic Killing and conformal Killing vectors in $d$-dimensional Minkowski, (A)dS, $\mathbb{R}\times S^{d-1}$ and ${\rm AdS}_2\times S^{d-2}$. We construct the associated
Localisation of soft charges, and thermodynamics of softly hairy black holes
Large gauge transformations (LGT) in asymptotically flat space are generated by charges defined at asymptotic infinity. No method for unambiguously localising these charges into the interior of

We study the Lie group structure of asymptotic symmetry groups in general relativity from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional geometry. To this end, we review the geometric definition of asymptotic
Soldering freedom and BMS-like transformations
• Mathematics

When two spacetimes are stitched across a null-shell placed at the horizon of a black hole, BMS-supertranslation like soldering freedom arises if one demands the induced metric on the shell should

• Mathematics
• 2017
A bstractIn this paper we consider introducing careful regularization at the quantization of Maxwell theory in the asymptotic null infinity. This allows systematic discussions of the commutators in

Conformal Carroll groups and BMS symmetry

The Bondi–Metzner–Sachs group is shown to be the conformal extension of Levy-Leblond's 'Carroll' group. Further extension to the Newman–Unti group is also discussed in the Carroll framework.
