Asymptotic Higher Spin Symmetries III: Noether Realization in Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract

We construct a non-perturbative action of the higher spin symmetry algebra on the asymptotic Yang-Mills phase space. We introduce a symmetry algebroid which admits a realization on the asymptotic phase space generated by a Noether charge defined non-perturbatively for all spins. This Noether charge is naturally conserved in the absence of radiation. Furthermore, the algebroid can be restricted to the covariant wedge symmetry algebra, which we analyze for non radiative cuts. The key ingredient in this construction is to consider field and time dependent symmetry parameters constrained to evolve according to equations of motion dual to (a truncation of) the asymptotic Yang-Mills equations of motion. This result then guarantees that the underlying symmetry algebra is represented canonically as well.
