Abstract We undertake a general study of the boundary (or edge) modes that arise in gauge and gravitational theories defined on a space with boundary. either asymptotic or at finite distance. focusing on efficient techniques for computing the corresponding boundary action. Such actions capture all the dynamics of the system that are implied by its asymptotic symmetry group. https://www.roneverhart.com/La-Tierra-de-Acre-Mezcal-Espadin-86-proof/
