We present a perturbative formulation of quantum gravity for asymptotically flat vacuum spacetimes based on the Null Surface Formulation (NSF), in which the expansion is ultraviolet-finite term by term up to the orders computed, without the…
The conformal extension of the BMS$_{3}$ algebra is constructed. Apart from an infinite number of 'superdilatations,' in order to incorporate 'superspecial conformal transformations,' the commutator of the latter with supertranslations…
We classify the Lagrangians and anomalies of an extended BMS field theory using BRST methods. To do so, we establish an intrinsic gauge-fixing procedure for the geometric data, which allows us to derive the extended BMS symmetries and the…
We give a review of recent work aimed at understanding the dynamics of gravitational collapse in quantum gravity. Its goal is to provide a non-perturbative computational framework for understanding the emergence of the semi-classical…
I propose that the proper framework for gravitational scattering theory is the rep- resentation theory of the super-BMS algebra of Awada, Gibbons and Shaw[1], and its generalizations. Certain representation spaces of these algebras…
The asymptotic symmetry group (ASG) at future null infinity (I^+) of four-dimensional de Sitter spacetimes is defined and shown to be given by the group of three-dimensional diffeomorphisms acting on I^+. Finite charges are constructed for…
We present a central extension of the $(m,n)$ super-Poincar\'e algebra in two dimensions. Besides the usual Poincar\'e generators and the $(m,n)$ supersymmetry generators we have $(m,n)$ Grassmann generators, a bosonic internal symmetry…
Using ideas from Jones, lattice gauge theory and loop quantum gravity, we construct 1+1-dimensional gauge theories on a spacetime cylinder. Given a separable compact group $G$, we construct localized time-zero fields on the spatial torus as…
Scalar QFT on the boundary $\Im^+$ at null infinity of a general asymptotically flat 4D spacetime is constructed using the algebraic approach based on Weyl algebra associated to a BMS-invariant symplectic form. The constructed theory is…
We study the quantization of the corner symmetry algebra of 3d gravity, that is the algebra of observables associated with 1d spatial boundaries. In the continuum field theory, at the classical level, this symmetry algebra is given by the…
Recently B. Hartwig and the second author found a presentation for the three-point $sl_2$ loop algebra via generators and relations. To obtain this presentation they defined an algebra $\boxtimes$ by generators and relations, and displayed…
I discuss a formulation of M-theory at null infinity, which is based on general principles of holographic space-time, and is manifestly covariant. The construction utilizes a certain Type II Von Neumann algebra, which provides a kinematic…
Using a formalism of minitwistors, we derive infinitely many conserved charges for the $sl(\infty )$-Toda equation which accounts for gravitational instantons with a rotational Killing symmetry. These charges are shown to form an infinite…
In this note the smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) linear and {\sl semilinear} representations of certain permutation groups (such as infinite symmetric group or automorphism group of an infinite-dimensional vector space over a finite…
It is known that, in an asymptotically flat spacetime, null infinity cannot act as an initial-value surface for massive real scalar fields. Exploiting tools proper of harmonic analysis on hyperboloids and global norm estimates for the wave…
The aim of this manuscript is to review the studies about de Sitter solution and the null infinity of asymptotically flat and de Sitter space-times. Thus, after introducing the de Sitter space-time, the symmetry group is described. Also…
In the double field theory, gauge symmetries are realized as generalized diffeomorphisms in the doubled spacetime. By consistency of the theory, dependence of tensor fields on the doubled coordinates is strongly constrained. This causes…
It is natural to regulate an infinite-sized system by imposing a boundary condition at finite distance, placing the system in a "box." This breaks symmetries, though the breaking is small when the box is large. One should thus be able to…
We construct Carrollian scalar field theories in general dimensions, mainly focusing on the boundaries of Minkowski and Rindler spacetime, whose quantum flux operators form a faithful representation of Carrollian diffeomorphism up to a…
We investigate AdS3/CFT2 correspondence in three dimensional supergravity. We construct a current for general coordinate invariance and that for local supersymmetry via covariant approach. Hamiltonian and supercharge are well defined in…
