Note on asymptotic symmetry of massless scalar field at null infinity

Abstract

In this article we address the question of asymptotic symmetry of massless scalar field at null infinity. We slightly generalize notion of asymptotic symmetry in order to make sense for the theory without gauge symmetry. Derivations of the results are done in two different ways, using Hamiltonian analysis and using covariant phase space. The results are in agreement with the ones previously obtained by various authors for dual 2-form field and with the results obtained starting from scalar soft theorem.
