Gravitational multipoles, antipodal matching relations, and the logarithmic soft graviton theorem

Geoffrey Compère, Dima Fontaine, Wen-Bin Liu +1

We derive the classical logarithmic soft graviton theorem for the scattering of massive particles in four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime using a position-space analysis…

A proof of conservation laws in gravitational scattering: tails and breaking of peeling

Geoffrey Compère, Sébastien Robert

We propose a definition of asymptotically flat spacetimes that is consistent with both null infinities and compatible with known properties of gravitational scattering, incoming an…

Electromagnetic multipole expansions and the logarithmic soft photon theorem

Geoffrey Compère, Dima Fontaine, Kevin Nguyen

We study the general structure of the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of spatial infinity. Starting from the general solution of the sourced Maxwell equations written in term…

Metric reconstruction from celestial multipoles

Geoffrey Compère, Roberto Oliveri, Ali Seraj

The most general vacuum solution to Einstein's field equations with no incoming radiation can be constructed perturbatively from two infinite sets of canonical multipole moments, w…

Celestial Holography: Lectures on Asymptotic Symmetries

P. B. Aneesh, Geoffrey Compère, Leonardo Pipolo de Gioia +2

The aim of these Lectures is to provide a brief overview of the subject of asymptotic symmetries of gauge and gravity theories in asymptotically flat spacetimes as background mater…

The -BMS Charge Algebra

Geoffrey Compère, Adrien Fiorucci, Romain Ruzziconi

The surface charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS spacetimes without matter is derived without assuming any boundary conditions. Surface charges associated wit…

Invariance of Unruh and Hawking radiation under matter-induced supertranslations

Geoffrey Compère, Jiang Long, Max Riegler

Matter fields are supertranslated upon crossing a shock wave, which leads to entanglement of the quantum vacuum between the two regions on either side of the shock wave. We probe t…

Superboost transitions, refraction memory and super-Lorentz charge algebra

Geoffrey Compère, Adrien Fiorucci, Romain Ruzziconi

We derive a closed-form expression of the orbit of Minkowski spacetime under arbitrary Diff super-Lorentz transformations and supertranslations. Such vacua are labelled by t…

Gravitational multipole moments from Noether charges

G. Compère, R. Oliveri, A. Seraj

We define the mass and current multipole moments for an arbitrary theory of gravity in terms of canonical Noether charges associated with specific residual transformations in canon…

Bulk supertranslation memories: a concept reshaping the vacua and black holes of general relativity

Geoffrey Compère

The memory effect is a prediction of general relativity on the same footing as the existence of gravitational waves. The memory effect is understood at future null infinity as a tr…

Vacua of the gravitational field

Geoffrey Compère, Jiang Long

The Poincaré invariant vacuum is not unique in quantum gravity. The BMS supertranslation symmetry originally defined at null infinity is spontaneously broken and results in inequiv…

Symplectic and Killing Symmetries of AdS Gravity: Holographic vs Boundary Gravitons

G. Compère, P. Mao, A. Seraj +1

The set of solutions to the AdS Einstein gravity with Brown-Henneaux boundary conditions is known to be a family of metrics labeled by two arbitrary periodic functions, respect…

invariant non-extremal entropy

G. Compère, V. Lekeu

The entropy of generic non-extremal dyonic black holes in the STU model has been shown to admit a remarkably universal form. The missing invariant in the formula was recently ident…

Near-horizon Extreme Kerr Magnetospheres

G. Compère, R. Oliveri

Analytical solutions to force-free electrodynamics around black holes are fundamental for building simple models of accretion disk and jet dynamics. We present a (nonexhaustive) cl…

Two Virasoro symmetries in stringy warped AdS

Geoffrey Compère, Monica Guica, Maria J. Rodriguez

We study three-dimensional consistent truncations of type IIB supergravity which admit warped AdS solutions. These theories contain subsectors that have no bulk dynamics. We sh…
