Celestial Symmetries of Black Hole Horizons

Abstract

We establish a correspondence between the gravitational phase space at null infinity and the subleading phase space near a finite-distance null hypersurface, such as a black hole horizon. Within this framework, we identify the celestial $L{w}_{1+\infty }$ symmetries in the subleading phase space at the horizon by constructing their canonical generators and imposing self-duality conditions. This leads to an infinite tower of conserved charges in the absence of radiation, revealing new gravitational observables relevant to black hole physics.
