The $\Lambda$-BMS$_4$ Charge Algebra

Understand

The surface charge algebra of generic asymptotically locally (A)dS$_4$ spacetimes without matter is derived without assuming any boundary conditions.

• Surface charges associated with Weyl rescalings are vanishing while the boundary diffeomorphism charge algebra is non-trivially represented without central extension.
• The $\Lambda$-BMS$_4$ charge algebra is obtained after specifying a boundary foliation and a boundary measure.
• The existence of the flat limit requires the addition of corner terms in the action and symplectic structure that are defined from the boundary foliation and measure.
