Null boundary gravitational charges from local Lorentz symmetries

In this paper, we revisit the null boundary gravitational charge in the Newman-Penrose formalism with special emphasis on the charges from local Lorentz transformations. We find that there is one more charge derived from the local Lorentz transformation and the new charge is purely from the Holst term. This reveals a remarkable fact that trivial terms which do not change classical equations of motion can not only affect the boundary degrees of freedom through their contributions to the boundary charges but also have their own rights to create new boundary degrees of freedom.
