Supertranslations at Spatial and Timelike Infinities in the First-Order Formalism
Abstract
We study supertranslations at spatial and future timelike infinity in the first-order formalism. We relax the Ashtekar-Engle-Sloan boundary conditions to allow supertranslations at the spatial infinity and obtain the precise form of the tetrads and Lorentz connections. Employing the covariant phase space technique we obtain the Hamiltonian charges for the supertranslations at both timelike and spatial infinities. The charges obtained are shown to match the expressions reported adopting the metric-based approach.
