Angular momentum at null infinity has a supertranslation ambiguity from the lack of a preferred Poincare group and a similar ambiguity when the center-of-mass position changes as linear momentum is radiated. Recently, we noted there is an additional one-parameter ambiguity in the possible definitions of angular momentum and center-of-mass charge. We argue that this one-parameter ambiguity can be resolved by considering the generalized BMS charges that are constructed from local 2-sphere-covariant tensors near null infinity; these supertranslation-covariant charges differ from several expressions currently used. Quantizing angular momentum requires a supertranslation-invariant angular momentum in the center-of-mass frame. We propose one such definition of angular momentum involving nonlocal quantities on the 2-sphere, which could be used to define a quantum notion of general-relativistic angular momentum.

The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) has been directly applied to the motion of (macroscopic) test bodies on a given space-time in order to compute corrections to the classical orbits predicted in Newtonian Mechanics or General Relativity. The se corrections generically violate the Equivalence Principle. The GUP has also been indirectly applied to the gravitational source by relating the GUP modified Hawking temperature to a deformation of the background metric. Such a deformed background metric determines new geodesic motions without violating the Equivalence Principle. We point out here that the two effects are mutually exclusive when compared with experimental bounds. Moreover, the former stems from modified Poisson brackets obtained from a wrong classical limit of the deformed canonical commutators.
We study the implications of a change of coordinatization of momentum space for theories with curved momentum space. We of course find that after a passive diffeomorphism the theory yields the same physical predictions, as one would expect considerin g that a simple reparametrization should not change physics. However, it appears that general momentum-space covariance (invariance under active diffeomorphisms of momentum space) cannot be enforced, and within a given set of prescriptions on how the theory should encode momentum-space metric and affine connection the physical predictions do depend on the momentum space background. These conclusions find support in some general arguments and in our quantitative analysis of a much-studied toy model with maximally-symmetric (curved) momentum space.
As recent work continues to demonstrate, the study of relativistic scattering processes leads to valuable insights and computational tools applicable to the relativistic bound-orbit two-body problem. This is particularly relevant in the post-Minkowsk ian approach to the gravitational two-body problem, where the field has only recently reached a full description of certain physical observables for scattering orbits, including radiative effects, at the third post-Minkowskian (3PM) order. As an historically instructive simpler example, we consider here the analogous problem in electromagnetism in flat spacetime. We compute for the first time the changes in linear momentum of each particle and the total radiated linear momentum, in the relativistic classical scattering of two point-charges, at sixth order in the charges (analogous to 3PM order in gravity). We accomplish this here via direct iteration of the classical equations of motion, while making comparisons where possible to results from quantum scattering amplitudes, with the aim of contributing to the elucidation of conceptual issues and scalability on both sides. We also discuss further extensions to radiative quantities of recently established relations which analytically continue certain observables from the scattering regime to the regime of bound orbits, applicable for both the electromagnetic and gravitational cases.
Hydrodynamics is a general theoretical framework for describing the long-time large-distance behaviors of various macroscopic physical systems, with its equations based on conservation laws such as energy-momentum conservation and charge conservation . Recently there has been significant interest in understanding the implications of angular momentum conservation for a corresponding hydrodynamic theory. In this work, we examine the key conceptual issues for such a theory in the relativistic regime where the orbital and spin components get entangled. We derive the equations for relativistic viscous hydrodynamics with angular momentum through Navier-Stokes type of gradient expansion analysis.

We suggest that the physically irrelevant choice of a representative worldline of a relativistic spinning particle should correspond to a gauge symmetry in an action approach. Using a canonical formalism in special relativity, we identify a (first-cl ass) spin gauge constraint, which generates a shift of the worldline together with the corresponding transformation of the spin on phase space. An action principle is formulated for which a minimal coupling to fields is straightforward. The electromagnetic interaction of a monopole-dipole particle is constructed explicitly.
