Holographic Representations of Supertranslation Eigenstates

Abstract

We construct by direct computation holographic presentations of supertranslation vacua given a set of supermomenta. To do this, we make use of two-dimensional dual models recently discovered by the author, which encode soft dynamics of gravity at leading order. In particular, the two-dimensional models are used to define soft currents, of which the supertranslation vacua are eigenstates. Operationally, the eigenstates are determined by the bare vacuum state dressed by exponential operators that generalize the dressing due to Faddeev and Kulish.
