Generalized BMS Algebra at Timelike Infinity
arXiv:2005.05209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.104030
Abstract
BMS group (and it's various generalizations) at null infinity have been studied extensively in the literature as the symmetry group of asymptotically flat spacetimes. The intricate relationship between soft theorems and the BMS symmetries have also motivated the definition of such asymptotic symmetries to time-like infinity. Although the vector fields that generate the (generalized) BMS algebra at time-like infinity was defined in the literature, the algebra has not been investigated. In this paper, we fill this gap. We show that the super-translations and vector fields that generate sphere diffeomorphisms close under the modified Lie bracket proposed by Barnich et al.
