Holographic dictionary from bulk reduction
Abstract: We propose a holographic dictionary which comes from reducing the bulk theories in an asymptotically flat spacetime to its null infinity. A general boundary theory is characterized by a fundamental field, an infinite tower of descendant fields, constraints among the fundamental field and its descendants as well as a symplectic form. For the Carrollian diffeomorphisms, we can construct the corresponding Hamiltonians which are also the fluxes from the bulk, and whose quantum operators realize this algebra with a divergent central charge. This central charge reflects the propagating degrees of freedom and can be regularized. For the spinning theory, we need a helicity flux operator to close the algebra which relates to the duality transformation.

- It is worth noting that the superrotations in our definition from Carrollian diffeomorphisms have removed the part like the supertranslations compared to the standard one.
