Infinite sets of asymptotic soft-charges were recently shown to be related to new symmetries of the $S$-matrix, spurring a large amount of research on this and related questions. Notwithstanding, the raison-d'\^etre of these soft-charges…

We solve two-dimensional gravity on surfaces with boundary in terms of contact interactions and surface degenerations. The known solution of the bulk theory in terms of a contact algebra is generalized to include boundaries and an enlarged…
