Quasi-local charges and asymptotic symmetry generators

چکیده
The quasi-local formulation of conserved charges through the off-shell approach is extended to cover the asymptotic symmetry generators. By introducing identically conserved currents which are appropriate for asymptotic Killing vectors, we show that the asymptotic symmetry generators can be understood as quasi-local charges. We also show that this construction is completely consistent with the on-shell method.

Asymptotic structure of topologically massive gravity in spacelike stretched AdS sector
We introduce a natural set of asymptotic conditions in the spacelike stretched AdS sector of topologically massive gravity. The Poisson bracket algebra of the canonical generators is shown to have the form of the semi-direct sum of a u(1) Kac-Moody and a Virasoro algebra, with central charges. Using the Sugawara construction, we prove that the asymptotic symmetry coincides with the conformal sy...
متن کاملConservation laws in the teleparallel theory of gravity
We study the conservation laws associated with the asymptotic Poincaré symmetry of spacetime in the general teleparallel theory of gravity. Demanding that the canonical Poincaré generators have well defined functional derivatives in a properly defined phase space, we obtain the improved form of the generators, containing certain surface terms. These terms are shown to represent the values of th...
متن کاملRolling Tachyon Boundary State, Conserved Charges and Two Dimensional String Theory
The boundary state associated with the rolling tachyon solution on an unstable Dbrane contains a part that decays exponentially in the asymptotic past and the asymptotic future, but it also contains other parts which either remain constant or grow exponentially in the past or future. We argue that the time dependence of the latter parts is completely determined by the requirement of BRST invari...
متن کاملConservation laws in the teleparallel theory with a positive cosmological constant
We study the conservation laws in the teleparallel theory with a positive cosmological constant, an extension of the teleparallel theory possessing solutions with de Sitter asymptotics. Demanding that the canonical generators of the asymptotic symmetry are well defined, we obtain their improved form, which defines the conserved charges of the theory. The physical interpretation of the results i...
متن کاملThe Internal Spin Angular Momentum of an Asymptotically Flat Spacetime
In this paper we investigate the manner in which the internal spin angular momentum of a spinor field is encoded in the gravitational field at asymptotic infinity. The inclusion of internal spin requires us to re-analyze our notion of asymptotic flatness. In particular, the Poincaré symmetry at asymptotic infinity must replaced by a spin-enlarged Poincaré symmetry. Likewise, the generators of t...
