Conservation of asymptotic supermomenta from past to future null infinity

ORAL

Abstract

We show that asymptotic supertranslations and supermomenta on past null infinity can be matched to those on future null infinity using the Ashtekar-Hansen structure of spatial infinity. This provides an infinite number of conservation laws for nonlinear gravitational scattering in a general class of spacetimes as has been recently conjectured by Strominger.
