چکیده
We describe a novel twistorial construction of the asymptotic Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries at null infinity for asymptotically flat spacetimes. define BMS twistors as spinor solutions to some set components usual spacetime twistor equation restricted infinity. The space is infinite dimensional. show that given two twistors, their symmetric tensor product can be used generate (complex) vector fields which are infinitesimal In this sense, ``square roots'' symmetries. also these equations written pair covariant spinor-valued completely determined by intrinsic universal structure

Canonical Realization of (2+1)-dimensional Bondi-Metzner-Sachs symmetry
We construct canonical realizations of the bms3 algebra as symmetry algebras of a free KleinGordon (KG) field in 2 + 1 dimensions, for both the massive and massless case. We consider two types of realizations, one on-shell, written in terms of the Fourier modes of the scalar field, and the other one off-shell with non-local transformations written in terms of the KG field and its momenta. These...
متن کاملTaub numbers at future null infinity : III . The Bondi mass
This work extends the ideas developed in two previous papers by the authors. Firstand second-order perturbation solutions of Einstein’s equations (in Newman–Penrose form) for the Bondi–Sachs metric are found on a background Minkowski manifold. These solutions allow a tensorial calculation of the Bondi mass using the Taub superpotential. PACS numbers: 0425N, 0440N
متن کاملArea density of localization-entropy II: double cone-localization and quantum origin of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs symmetry
The holographic encoding is generalized to subalgebras of QFT localized in double cones. It is shown that as a result of this radically different spacetime encoding the modular group acts geometrically on the holographic image. As a result we obtain a formula for localization entropy which is identical to the previously derived formula for the wedge-localized subalgebra. The symmetry group in t...
متن کاملQuasi-localisation of Bondi-Sachs energy loss
Abstract. A formula is given for the variation of the Hawking energy along any oneparameter foliation of compact spatial 2-surfaces. A surface for which one null expansion is positive and the other negative has a preferred orientation, with a spatial or null normal direction being called outgoing or ingoing as the area increases or decreases respectively. A natural way to propagate such a surfa...
متن کاملSymmetries of asymptotically flat 4 dimensional spacetimes at null infinity revisited
It is argued that the symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in 4 dimensions should be taken as the semi-direct sum of supertranslations with infinitesimal local conformal transformations and not, as usually done, with the Lorentz algebra. As a consequence, two dimensional conformal field theory techniques will play as fundamental a role in this context of direct ph...
