From shockwaves to the gravitational memory effect

Abstract We study the relationship between shockwave geometries and the gravitational memory effect in four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetime. In particular, we show the ’t Hooft commutation relations of shockwave operators are equivalent to the commutation relation between soft and Goldston...
