Centrally extended BMS4 Lie algebroid

Abstract

We explicitly show how the field dependent 2-cocycle that arises in the current algebra of 4 dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes can be used as a central extension to turn the BMS4 Lie algebra, or more precisely, the BMS4 action Lie algebroid, into a genuine Lie algebroid with field dependent structure functions. Both a BRST formulation, where the extension appears as a ghost number 2 cocyle, and a formulation in terms of vertex operator algebras are introduced. The mapping of the celestial sphere to the cylinder then implies zero mode shifts of the asymptotic part of the shear and of the news tensor.
