Description

In this talk, I will discuss the solution space of general relativity in Bondi gauge, with non-vanishing cosmological constant. Using the dictionary between Bondi and Fefferman-Graham gauges, the analogues of the Bondi news, Bondi mass and Bondi angular momentum aspects at the boundary of generic asymptotically locally dS4 spacetimes will be identified. Then, I will introduce the Λ-BMS4 group as the residual symmetry group of Bondi gauge after boundary gauge fixing. This group consists in infinite dimensional non-abelian supertranslations and superrotations and it reduces in the asymptotically flat limit to the extended BMS4 group. Furthermore, I will present new boundary conditions for asymptotically locally AdS4 spacetimes which admit R times the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms as the asymptotic symmetry group.
