Sub-subleading soft gravitons and large diffeomorphisms
arXiv:1608.00685 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2017)036
Abstract
We present strong evidence that the sub-subleading soft theorem in semi-classical (tree level) gravity discovered by Cachazo and Strominger is equivalent to the conservation of asymptotic charges associated to a new class of vector fields not contained within the previous extensions of BMS algebra. Our analysis crucially relies on analyzing the hitherto established equivalences between soft theorems and Ward identities from a new perspective. In this process we naturally (re)discover a class of `magnetic' charges at null infinity that are associated to the dual of the Weyl tensor.
