The three-dimensional Galilean black hole

Luis Avilés, Oscar Fuentealba, Diego Hidalgo +1

We report a novel solution of three-dimensional Galilean Anti-de Sitter gravity. The theory can be formulated as a topological gauge theory invariant under the doubly extended Newt…

Logarithmic supertranslations as asymptotic symmetries of gravity at null infinity

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Sébastien Robert +1

Logarithmic supertranslations have been shown recently to be symmetries of the gravitational field at spatial infinity. We extend this work by proving explicitly that they are also…

Logarithmic angle-dependent gauge transformations at null infinity

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux

Logarithmic angle-dependent gauge transformations are symmetries of electromagnetism that are canonically conjugate to the standard angle-dependent transform…

AdS Carroll gravity: asymptotic symmetries and C-thermal configurations

Luis Avilés, Oscar Fuentealba, Diego Hidalgo +1

The asymptotic structure of three-dimensional Carroll gravity with negative cosmological constant is studied. We formulate a consistent set of boundary conditions preserved by an i…

Enhanced Conformal Symmetries

Oscar Fuentealba, Iva Lovrekovic, David Tempo +1

An enhanced version of the conformal BMS algebra is presented. It is shown to emerge from the asymptotic structure of an extension of conformal gravity in 3D by Pope and Town…

Logarithmic matching between past infinity and future infinity: The massless scalar field

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux

Matching conditions relating the fields at the future of past null infinity with the fields at the past of future null infinity play a central role in the analysis of asymptotic sy…

The BMS group in spacetime dimensions

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux

The asymptotic structure of gravity in spacetime dimensions is described at spatial infinity in the asymptotically flat context through Hamiltonian (ADM) methods. Special foc…

Marcela Cárdenas, Oscar Fuentealba, Cristián Martínez +1

Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a scalar field with a two-parameter Higgs-like self-interaction in three spacetime dimensions is recast in terms of a Chern-Simons form for th…

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 Carrollian limits of Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in four spacetime dimensions

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo +1

In this paper, three things are done. First, we study from an algebraic point of view the infinite-dimensional BMS-like extensions of the Carroll algebra relevant to the asymptotic…

Local supersymmetry and the square roots of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs supertranslations

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Sucheta Majumdar +2

Super-BMS algebras -- also called BMS superalgebras -- are graded extensions of the BMS algebra. They can be of two different types: they can contain either a finite nu…
