Abstract
In this paper, we find a class of Carrollian and Galilean contractions of (extended) Bondi–van der Burg–Metzner–Sachs (BMS) algebra in 3+1 and 2+1 dimensions. To this end, we investigate possible embeddings of 3D/4D Poincaré into the BMS and BMS algebras, respectively. The contraction limits in the 2+1-dimensional case are then enforced by appropriate contractions of its Poincaré subalgebras. In 3+1 dimensions, we have to apply instead the analogy between the structures of Poincaré and BMS algebra. In the case of non-vanishing cosmological constant in 2+1 dimensions, we consider the contractions of Λ-BMS algebra in an analogous manner. As a by-product, we have also analyzed reality conditions on the Witt algebra and obtained new results.
本文研究了3+1和2+1维Bondi-van der Burg-Metzner-Sachs (BMS)代数的(扩展)Carrollian和Galilean压缩。为此,我们分别研究了3D/4D poincarcarve嵌入BMS和BMS代数的可能性。在2+1维情况下,通过对其poincarcars子代数进行适当的压缩来实现收缩极限。在3+1维中,我们必须应用poincarcarve和BMS代数结构之间的类比。在2+1维宇宙常数不消失的情况下,我们以类似的方式考虑Λ-BMS代数的收缩。作为副产物,我们还分析了Witt代数的现实条件,得到了新的结果。
