Abstract
The gravitational memory effect is a change in spatial separation between two points (on \(\mathcal {I}\)) due to the passing of gravitational radiation, which is characterized by \(N_{zz} \ne 0\). Namely, if we start from two points that are separated by a distance \((s^z, s^{\bar{z}})\) and let gravitational waves pass between them, the change in \(s^z\) in retarded coordinates is given by
