The memory effect is a prediction of general relativity on the same footing as the existence of gravitational waves. The memory effect is understood at future null infinity as a transition induced by null radiation from a Poincar\'e vacuum…

Gravitational wave memory is said to arise when a gravitational wave burst produces changes in a physical system that persist even after that wave has passed. This paper analyzes gravitational wave bursts in plane wave spacetimes, deriving…

We find new effects for gravitational waves and memory in asymptotically-flat spacetimes of slow decay. In particular, we derive growing magnetic memory for these general systems. These effects do not arise in spacetimes resulting from data…

In this paper, we explore how a massless Tachyon field, when non-minimally coupled to gravity, affects gravitational memory, soft theorems, and symmetries near null infinity. We set up the model using both the Jordan and Einstein frames,…

It is shown that there is a universal gravitational memory effect measurable by inertial detectors in even spacetime dimensions $d\geq 4$. The effect falls off at large radius $r$ as $r^{3-d}$. Moreover this memory effect sits at one corner…

The conventional gravitational memory effect is a relative displacement in the position of two detectors induced by radiative energy flux. We find a new type of gravitational `spin memory' in which beams on clockwise and counterclockwise…
