Soft Photon theorem in the small negative cosmological constant limit

Abstract

We study the effect of electromagnetic interactions on the classical soft theorems on an asymptotically AdS background in 4 spacetime dimensions, in the limit of a small cosmological constant or equivalently a large AdS radius $l$. This identifies $1/l^2$ perturbative corrections to the known asymptotically flat spacetime leading and subleading soft factors. Our analysis is only valid to leading order in $1/l^2$. The leading soft factor can be expected to be universal and holds beyond tree level. This allows us to derive a $1/l^2$ corrected Ward identity, following the known equivalence between large gauge Ward identities and soft theorems in asymptotically flat spacetimes.
