Polyharmonic green functions and nonlocal Bondi-Metzner-Sachs transformations of a free scalar field

We express the nonlocal Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) charges of a free massless Klein-Gordon scalar field in 2 þ 1 in terms of the Green functions of the polyharmonic operators. Using the properties of these Green functions, we are able to discuss the asymptotic behavior of the fields that ensures the...
