โฆ Synopsis
In the context of a recent reformulation of the theory of gravitational radiation from bounded sources in which both shearing and shear-free radiation is manifestly present, we derive the asymptotic symmetry group of the spacetime. The group we obtain contains the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group as a subgroup. This observation is relevant to the problem of the mysterious role of shear-free radiation in the Bondi-Sachs approach to the theory of gravitational radiation from bounded sources.
