BRST Symmetry and the Convolutional Double Copy

Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope, A. Saha +1

Motivated by the results of Anastasiou et al., we consider the convolutional double copy for BRST and anti-BRST covariant formulations of gravitational and gauge theories in more d…

Dual Charges for AdS Spacetimes and the First Law of Black Hole Mechanics

Mahdi Godazgar, Simon Guisset

We apply the recent derivations of dual charges in asymptotically flat spacetimes to asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. In contrast to the results in the flat case, in the AdS…

Higher derivative asymptotic charges and internal Lorentz symmetries

Mahdi Godazgar, George Macaulay

In line with a recent proposal for the study of asymptotic gravitational charges, we investigate higher derivative asymptotic charges. We show that the higher derivative BMS charge…

Asymptotic Weyl Double Copy

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, Ricardo Monteiro +2

A characteristic value formulation of the Weyl double copy leads to an asymptotic formulation. We find that the Weyl double copy holds asymptotically in cases where the full soluti…

The Weyl Double Copy for Gravitational Waves

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, Ricardo Monteiro +2

We establish the status of the Weyl double copy relation for radiative solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations. We show that all type N vacuum solutions, which describe the radi…

BMS charges in polyhomogeneous spacetimes

Mahdi Godazgar, George Long

We classify the asymptotic charges of a class of polyhomogeneous asymptotically-flat spacetimes with finite shear, generalising recent results on smooth asymptotically-flat spaceti…

Hamiltonian derivation of dual gravitational charges

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, Malcolm J. Perry

We provide a Hamiltonian derivation of recently discovered dual BMS charges. In order to do so, we work in the first order formalism and add to the usual Palatini action, the Holst…

Asymptotic gravitational charges

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, Malcolm J. Perry

We present a method for finding, in principle, all asymptotic gravitational charges. The basic idea is that one must consider all possible contributions to the action that do not a…

Taub-NUT from the Dirac monopole

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

Writing the metric of an asymptotically flat spacetime in Bondi coordinates provides an elegant way of formulating the Einstein equation as a characteristic value problem. In this…

Dual gravitational charges and soft theorems

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

We consider the consequences of the dual gravitational charges for the phase space of radiating modes, and find that they imply a new soft NUT theorem. In particular, we argue that…

New dual gravitational charges

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

We show that there are a further infinite number of, previously unknown, supertranslation charges. These can be viewed as duals of the known BMS charges corresponding to supertrans…

Tower of subleading dual BMS charges

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

We supplement the recently found dual gravitational charges with dual charges for the whole BMS symmetry algebra. Furthermore, we extend the dual charges away from null infinity, d…

Subleading BMS charges and fake news near null infinity

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

In this paper we establish a relation between the non-linearly conserved Newman-Penrose charges and certain subleading terms in a large- expansion of the BMS charges in an asymp…

Aretakis Charges and Asymptotic Null Infinity

Hadi Godazgar, Mahdi Godazgar, C. N. Pope

We construct a relation between the Aretakis charge of any extreme black hole and the Newman-Penrose charge. This is achieved by constructing a conformal correspondence between ext…

Symmetries at the black hole horizon

Emil T. Akhmedov, Mahdi Godazgar

We determine the asymptotic symmetry group of Killing horizons by choosing Gaussian null coordinates in the neighbourhood of the horizon and boundary conditions that respect the le…

Entanglement entropy, the Einstein equation and the Sparling construction

Mahdi Godazgar

We relate the recent derivation of the linearised Einstein equation on an AdS background from holographic entanglement entropy arguments to the Sparling construction: we derive the…
