Null to time-like infinity Green's functions for asymptotic symmetries in Minkowski spacetime
Description
We elaborate on the Green's functions that appeared in http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2015)115http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.01406 when generalizing, from massless to massive particles, various equivalences between soft theorems and Ward identities of large gauge symmetries. We analyze these Green's functions in considerable detail and show that they form a hierarchy of functions which describe 'boundary to bulk' propagators for large U(1) gauge parameters, supertranslations and sphere vector fields respectively. As a consistency check we verify that the Green's functions associated to the large diffeomorphisms map the Poincare group at null infinity to the Poincare group at time-like infinity.
