Centerless BMS charge algebra
This paper shows that implementing the Wald-Zoupas prescription results in BMS charges that realize the symmetry algebra without anomalies or central extensions at any cut of future null infinity. The authors refine the covariance prescription to improve properties of charge aspects, and introduce an improved, more covariant aspect for Geroch’s supermomentum. For extended BMS symmetries allowing singular vectors, a valid Wald-Zoupas potential exists given a modified symplectic structure with a corner term. The resulting extended BMS Noether current algebra between arbitrary cuts is centerless, but charges have a residual nonradiative, time-independent 2-cocycle.
