Conservation and Integrability in TMG

Abstract

In this work, following the paper by Romain Ruzziconi and C\'eline Zwikel \cite{Ruzziconi:2020wrb} we extend the questions of conservation, integrability and renormalization in Bondi gauge and in GR to the theory of Topological Massive Gravity (TMG). We construct the phase space and renormalize the divergences arising within the symplectic structure through a holographic renormalization procedure. We show that the charge expressions are generically finite, conserved and can be made integrable by a field$-$dependent redefinition of the asymptotic symmetry parameters.
