at: 12:00 room 610 abstract: | I will discuss recent developments in the characterisation of asymptotic states in asymptotically flat gravity, and the central role played by BMS fluxes in connection to soft graviton theorems. As a result of these new ideas, I will show that the subleading soft graviton theorem including loop effects is the Ward identity associated with superrotations symmetries. We will conclude that BMS symmetries are genuine symmetries of the gravitational S-matrix beyond the classical regime. |
