Asymptotic Structure of Gravity and BMS Group at Spatial Infinity - Lecture 2

Explore the asymptotic structure of gravity at spatial infinity in this advanced physics lecture. Delve into the connection between spatial infinity and null infinity, with a focus on Strominger's matching conditions for fields at past and future null infinity. Gain insights into the Hamiltonian methods used to describe asymptotically flat gravity, building upon the foundations laid in the first lecture. Examine the justification for matching conditions and their implications for our understanding of gravitational physics. Presented by Marc Henneaux from the Université libre de Bruxelles, this 56-minute talk offers a deep dive into cutting-edge research on the asymptotic properties of gravity and the BMS group.
