ASYMPTOTIC SYMMETRIES AT NULL INFINITY AND LOCAL CONFORMAL PROPERTIES OF SPIN COEFFICIENTS

Barnish G., Lambert P.

Information About Author:

We show that the symmetry algebra of asymptotically at four dimensional spacetimes at null innity in the sense of Newman and Unti is isomorphic to the direct sum of the abelian algebra of innitesimal conformal rescalings with bms4. We then work out the local conformal properties of the relevant Newman-Penrose coecients, as well as the surface charges and their algebra.
