Near horizon soft hair

Asymptotic symmetries have been crucial in understanding the holographic principle from a gravity perspective since they coincide with the global symmetries of the dual quantum field theory. A few years ago, we extended this notion to near horizon symmetries with some unexpected technical and conceptual insights, notably the discovery of soft Heisenberg hair. Prof. Daniel Grumiller, Institute for Theoretical Physics, Technische Universitat Vienna, Austria, will summarize these developments and give an outlook.
