Gravitational memory effects and higher derivative actions

Abstract: We show that charges associated with the internal Lorentz symmetries of general relativity, with higher derivative boundary terms included in the action, capture observable gravitational wave effects. In particular, the Gauss-Bonnet charge measures the precession rate of a freely-falling gyroscope, while the Pontryagin charge encodes the relative radial acceleration of freely-falling test masses. This relation highlights the importance of the tetrad formalism and the physical significance of asymptotic interna… Show more

“…Soft theorems, introduced in [444,445], have been linked to asymptotic symmetries and memory effects in [120,[446][447][448][449][450][451][452][453][454][455][456][457][458][459][460][461][462][463][464][465]. Lastly, memory effects, originally proposed in [466][467][468][469][470][471], are analysed in this context in [472][473][474][475][476][477][478][479][480]. Independently from repercussions on the infrared triangle, there have been a lot of intrinsic developments in CCFT and the understanding of the 𝑆-matrix, see .…”

“…However, the precession for the spin memory is associated with high order terms, see [22] [27] and also [14], in which it shows that the leading order of the precession of gyroscopes is in the order of O(1/r 2 ). This spin effect could be also generated by the superrotation charges [15] or considered as a vacuum transition under the residual Lorentz symmetry [28]. In our case, there is no similar charge or symmetry, so we keep the order of O(1/r) in the following calculations.…”

“…The memory effect, which signifies the imprint of the presence of extra dimensions and the wormhole nature of the spacetime geometry, is discussed in [40]. Furthermore, it has been suggested in [41,42] that the charges associated with the internal Lorentz symmetries of general relativity, along with the inclusion of higher derivative boundary terms in the action, can capture observable GW effects.…”
