Universal derivation of the asymptotic charges of bosonic massless particles

We present a unified treatment of the conserved asymptotic charges associated with any bosonic massless particle in any spacetime dimension. In particular we provide master formulae for the asymptotic charges and the central extensions in the corresponding charge algebras. These formulae can be expl...

Zusammenfassung:We present a unified treatment of the conserved asymptotic charges associated with any bosonic massless particle in any spacetime dimension. In particular we provide master formulae for the asymptotic charges and the central extensions in the corresponding charge algebras. These formulae can be explicitly evaluated for any given theory. For illustration we apply them to electromagnetism and gravity, thereby recovering earlier results.
