We investigate the asymptotic symmetry group of a scalar field minimally-coupled to an abelian gauge field using the Hamiltonian formulation. This extends previous work by Henneaux and Troessaert on the pure electromagnetic case.

A note on the asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism
We extend the asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism in order to consistently include angle-dependent u(1) gauge transformations ϵ that involve terms growing at spatial infinity linearly and logarithmically in r, ϵ ~ a(θ, φ)r + b(θ, φ) ln r + c(θ, φ).

Residual gauge symmetry in light-cone electromagnetism
We analyze the residual gauge freedom in light-cone electromagnetism in four dimensions. The standard boundary conditions involved in the so-called lc 2 formalism, which contains only the two physical degrees of freedom, allow for a subset of residual ...

We classify N =1 d = 4 kinematical and aristotelian Lie superalgebras with spa- tial isotropy, but not necessarily parity nor time-reversal invariance. Employing a quater- nionic formalism which makes rotational covariance manifest and simplifies many of

The equations of Hamiltonian gravity are often considered ugly cousins of the elegant and manifestly covariant versions found in the Lagrangian theory. However, both formulations are fundamental in their own rights because they make different statements about the nature of spacetime and its symmetries.

The asymptotic symmetries of electromagnetism in all higher spacetime dimensions d > 4 are extended, by incorporating consistently angle-dependent u(1) gauge transformations with a linear growth in the radial coordinate at spatial infinity. Finiteness of

Asymptotic symmetries of Yang-Mills fields in Hamiltonian formulation
We investigate the asymptotic symmetry group of the free SU(N )-Yang-Mills theory using the Hamiltonian formalism. We closely follow the strategy of Henneaux and Troessaert who successfully applied the Hamiltonian formalism to the case of gravity and ...

Hamiltonian structure and asymptotic symmetries of the Einstein-Maxwell system at spatial infinity
We present a new set of asymptotic conditions for gravity at spatial infinity that includes gravitational magnetic-type solutions, allows for a non-trivial Hamiltonian action of the complete BM S 4 algebra, and leads to a non-divergent behaviour of the ...

On free Lie algebras and particles in electro-magnetic fields
The Poincaré algebra can be extended (non-centrally) to the Maxwell algebra and beyond. These extensions are relevant for describing particle dynamics in electromagnetic backgrounds and possibly including the backreaction due the presence of multipoles ...

Gauss’ Law and string-localized quantum field theory
The quantum Gauss Law as an interacting field equation is a prominent feature of QED with eminent impact on its algebraic and superselection structure. It forces charged particles to be accompanied by “photon clouds” that cannot be realized in the Fock ...
