Thermodynamics of boosted Schwarzschild black holes
Glenn Barnich
The equilibrium thermodynamics of boosted Schwarzschild black holes is worked out in a concise way and shown to agree with expectations from relativistic thermodynamics.
BV-BRST Noether theorem
Glenn Barnich, Laurent Baulieu, Marc Henneaux +1
The BRST Noether theorem, or ``Noether's 1.5 theorem'', asserts the triviality of the BRST Noether current. We provide two proofs of this theorem that are both valid without restri…
Model spaces as constrained Hamiltonian systems: I. Application to
Glenn Barnich, Thomas Smoes
Motivated by group-theoretical questions that arise in the context of asymptotic symmetries in gravity, we study model spaces and their quantization from the viewpoint of constrain…
Modular properties of massive scalar partition functions
Ankit Aggarwal, Glenn Barnich
We compute the exact thermal partition functions of a massive scalar field on flat spacetime backgrounds of the form and show that they poss…
Chiral shift symmetries as an infinite tower of subleading super-shift symmetries
Glenn Barnich, Luca Ciambelli, Hernán A. González
Chiral shift symmetries of the massless free bosons in two dimensions are global symmetries that are somewhat similar to asymptotic symmetries. They are most transparent in double-…
Lessons from discrete light-cone quantization for physics at null infinity: Bosons in two dimensions
Glenn Barnich, Sucheta Majumdar, Simone Speziale +1
Motivated by issues in the context of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity, we discuss in the simplest example of a massless scalar field in two dimensions several subtl…
