摘要

We investigate the asymptotic symmetries of asymptotically flat spacetimes at spatial infinity. We propose a new symplectic structure and conservative boundary conditions in a polyhomogeneous Beig–Schmidt expansion. The asymptotic symmetries extend the BMS algebra by abelian sectors, notably incorporating regular log-translations and log-supertranslations. The associated charges are finite and conserved, and we show that their algebra admits a central extension between supertranslations and log-supertranslations, and between the singular translations and regular log-translations. Our analysis is compatible with, and extends, both the work of [1, 2]: it extends the former by incorporating log-supertranslations, and the latter by allowing both parities of the log-supertranslations in the same phase space. These newly identified symmetries at spatial infinity encode novel physical information that has not been revealed in other regions of asymptotically flat spacetimes, thereby opening the door to new observables to consider at null and timelike infinity.
