Classical central extension for asymptotic symmetries at null infinity in three spacetime dimensions
The symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in three dimensions is the semi-direct sum of the infinitesimal diffeomorphisms on the circle with an abelian ideal of supertranslations. The associated charge algebra is shown to admit a non trivial classical central extension of Virasoro type closely related to that of the anti-de Sitter case. PACS numbers: 04.20.Ha, 04.6...
متن کاملClassical Duality Symmetries in Two Dimensions 1
Many two-dimensional classical field theories have hidden symmetries that form an infinite-dimensional algebra. For those examples that correspond to effective descriptions of compactified superstring theories, the duality group is expected to be a large discrete subgroup of the hidden symmetry group. With this motivation, we explore the hidden symmetries of principal chiral models and symmetri...
متن کاملSymmetries of asymptotically flat 4 dimensional spacetimes at null infinity revisited
It is argued that the symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in 4 dimensions should be taken as the semi-direct sum of supertranslations with infinitesimal local conformal transformations and not, as usually done, with the Lorentz algebra. As a consequence, two dimensional conformal field theory techniques will play as fundamental a role in this context of direct ph...

متن کاملQuasi-classical limit of BKP hierarchy and W-infinity symmetries
Previous results on quasi-classical limit of the KP and Toda hierarchies are now extended to the BKP hierarchy. Basic tools such as the Lax representation, the Baker-Akhiezer function and the tau function are reformulated so as to fit into the analysis of quasi-classical limit. Two subalgebras WB 1+∞ and w B 1+∞ of the Winfinity algebrasW1+∞ and w1+∞ are introduced as fundamental Lie algebras o...
