Lorentz-diffeomorphism edge modes in 3d gravity

Abstract The proper definition of subsystems in gauge theory and gravity requires an extension of the local phase space by including edge mode fields. Their role is on the one hand to restore gauge invariance with respect to gauge transformations supported on the boundary, and on the other hand to p...
