The partial Bondi gauge

Scientific Area(s):

End date:

I will review the recent construction of an extended solution space for gravity, based on a so-called partial Bondi gauge fixing. This aims at investigating the possible relaxations of the boundary conditions, in order to include for example a cosmological constant, a polyhomogeneous expansion, and an arbitrary time-dependent boundary metric. I will also explain how to properly map these results to the Newman-Penrose formalism. Finally, I will discuss the application to three-dimensional gravity, where a new asymptotic symmetry can be revealed after working out all the subtleties of the covariant phase space formalism.
