Mapping the Infrared Phase Space of Gravity to Finite Subregions

Luca Ciambelli, Temple He, Marc S. Klinger +1

We construct the phase space for an arbitrary cut of a null hypersurface in Minkowski spacetime and demonstrate that it is symplectomorphic to the infrared phase space of asymptoti…

Effective density matrix for vacua in asymptotically flat gravity

Temple He, Prahar Mitra, Kathryn M. Zurek

We explicitly construct the density matrix associated to the vacuum state of a large spherically symmetric causal diamond of area in four-dimensional asymptotically flat gravit…

From Asymptotically Flat Gravity to Finite Causal Diamonds

Luca Ciambelli, Temple He, Kathryn M. Zurek

We demonstrate that the phase space of the soft sector of asymptotically flat gravity in four spacetime dimensions can be identified with that of a spherically symmetric finite cas…

Thermodynamics of a Spherically Symmetric Causal Diamond in Minkowski Spacetime

Kwinten Fransen, Temple He, Kathryn M. Zurek

We compute a gravitational on-shell action of a finite, spherically symmetric causal diamond in -dimensional Minkowski spacetime, finding it is proportional to the area of t…

An Infrared On-Shell Action and its Implications for Soft Charge Fluctuations in Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes

Temple He, Ana-Maria Raclariu, Kathryn M. Zurek

We study the infrared on-shell action of Einstein gravity in asymptotically flat spacetimes, obtaining an effective, gauge-invariant boundary action for memory and shockwave spacet…
