Asymptotic charges in gravity

Regular Seminar Hadi Godazgar (AEI)

at:
13:15 KCL
room S2.29
abstract:

I will review asymptotic charges in electromagnetism and explain why they are physical. Then I will review BMS charges in asymptotically flat spacetimes and show that there are in fact magnetic analogues of BMS charges that had been overlooked in the literature. I will comment on the implications of these newly found charges.
