Asymptotic symmetry algebra of Einstein gravity and Lorentz generators
Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Cédric Troessaert
The asymptotic symmetry algebra of four-dimensional Einstein gravity in the asymptotically flat context has been shown recently to be the direct sum of the Poincaré algebra and of…
A note on the asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism
Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Cédric Troessaert
We extend the asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism in order to consistently include angle-dependent gauge transformations that involve terms growing at spatial infi…
Logarithmic supertranslations and supertranslation-invariant Lorentz charges
Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Cédric Troessaert
We extend the BMS(4) group by adding logarithmic supertranslations. This is done by relaxing the boundary conditions on the metric and its conjugate momentum at spatial infinity in…
Asymptotic structure of the gravitational field in five spacetime dimensions: Hamiltonian analysis

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Javier Matulich +1
We study asymptotically flat spacetimes in five spacetime dimensions by Hamiltonian methods, focusing on spatial infinity and keeping all asymptotically relevant nonlinearities in…

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Sucheta Majumdar +2
The asymptotic structure of the Pauli-Fierz theory at spatial infinity is investigated in four spacetime dimensions. Boundary conditions on the massless spin- field that are inv…

We derive the asymptotic symmetries of the manifestly duality invariant formulation of electromagnetism in Minkoswki space. We show that the action is invariant under two algebras…
Interpolating Between Asymptotic and Near Horizon Symmetries
D. Grumiller, M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari, C. Troessaert +1
We develop basic tools and matching conditions to interpolate between asymptotic and near horizon symmetries. We focus on black holes in three dimensions. In particular, we match B…
The asymptotic structure of gravity at spatial infinity in four spacetime dimensions
Marc Henneaux, Cédric Troessaert
A review of our results on the asymptotic structure of gravity at spatial infinity in four spacetime dimensions is given. Finiteness of the action and integrability of the asymptot…

Marc Henneaux, Cedric Troessaert
We investigate the asymptotic structure of electromagnetism in Minkowski space in even and odd spacetime dimensions . We focus on since the case has been studie…
Asymptotic structure of a massless scalar field and its dual two-form field at spatial infinity
Marc Henneaux, Cedric Troessaert
Relativistic field theories with a power law decay in at spatial infinity generically possess an infinite number of conserved quantities because of Lorentz invariance. Mos…
Asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism at spatial infinity
Marc Henneaux, Cédric Troessaert
We analyse the asymptotic symmetries of Maxwell theory at spatial infinity through the Hamiltonian formalism. Precise, consistent boundary conditions are explicitly given and shown…
The BMS4 algebra at spatial infinity
Cédric Troessaert
We show how a global BMS4 algebra appears as the asymptotic symmetry algebra at spatial infinity. Using linearised theory, we then show that this global BMS4 algebra is the one int…
Asymptotically flat black holes and gravitational waves in three-dimensional massive gravity
Cédric Troessaert, David Tempo, Ricardo Troncoso
Different classes of exact solutions for the BHT massive gravity theory are constructed and analyzed. We focus in the special case of the purely quadratic Lagrangian, whose field e…

The theory of massive gravity proposed by Bergshoeff, Hohm and Townsend is considered in the special case of the pure irreducibly fourth order quadratic Lagrangian. It is shown tha…

In this work, we interpret part of the boundary conditions as external sources in order to solve the integrability problem present in the computation of surface charges associated…
Aspects of duality in gravitational theories

This thesis is divided in two parts. The first part contains the study of some properties of the electromagnetic duality in 4 dimensions. An extended double potential formalism for…
Canonical Structure of Field Theories with Boundaries and Applications to Gauge Theories
Cedric Troessaert
In this paper, we present a review of the canonical structure of field theories defined on manifolds with time-like boundaries. The notion of differentiable generator is shown to b…
Comments on holographic current algebras and asymptotically flat four dimensional spacetimes at null infinity
Glenn Barnich, Cédric Troessaert
We follow the spirit of a recent proposal to show that previous computations for asymptotically flat spacetimes in four dimensions at null infinity can be re-interpreted in terms o…
Enhanced asymptotic symmetry algebra of AdS3
Cedric Troessaert
A generalization of the Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions is introduced for pure gravity with negative cosmological constant in 3 dimensions. This leads to new degrees of freedom…

Aspects of the BMS/CFT correspondence
Glenn Barnich, Cedric Troessaert
After a review of symmetries and classical solutions involved in the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence, we apply a similar analysis to asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in 3 a…
Manifest spin 2 duality with electric and magnetic sources
Glenn Barnich, Cedric Troessaert
We extend the formulation of spin 2 fields on Minkowski space which makes the action manifestly invariant under duality rotations to the case of interactions with external electric…

Glenn Barnich, Cedric Troessaert
In the reduced phase space of electromagnetism, the generator of duality rotations in the usual Poisson bracket is shown to generate Maxwell's equations in a second, much simpler P…
