Celestial symmetries of black hole horizons
We establish a correspondence between the gravitational phase space at null infinity and the subleading phase space near a finite-distance null hypersurface, such as a black hole horizon. Within this framework, we identify the celestial <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:mrow> <a:mi>L</a:mi> <a:msub> <a:mrow> <a:mi>w</a:mi> </a:mrow> <a:mrow> <a:mn>1</a:mn> <a:mo>+</a:mo> <a:mi>∞</a:mi> </a:mrow> </a:msub> </a:mrow> </a:math> symmetries in the subleading phase space at the horizon by constructing their canonical generators and imposing self-duality conditions. This leads to an infinite tower of conserved charges in the absence of radiation, revealing new gravitational observables relevant to black hole physics.
