Finite-time memory detectors and fully constraining Faddeev-Kulish dressings in QED and gravity
Abstract
We show that for both QED and perturbative quantum gravity, time dependent Faddeev-Kulish dressings can be fully constrained either by symmetry, or by demanding that they reproduce the correct outgoing classical memory contribution. For gravity, we show that using this dressing to construct finite-time Fock spaces allows us to recover both the first order gravitational memory, as well as higher order Christodoulou contributions from the gravitational field. We explain how these higher order perturbative corrections arise in inclusive in-in calculations.
