Abstract: The Geroch group is an infinite dimensional transitive group of symmetries of classical cylindrically symmetric gravitational waves which acts by non-canonical transformations on the phase space of these waves. Here this symmetry is rederived and the unique Poisson bracket on the Geroch group which makes its action on the gravitational phase space Lie-Poisson is obtained. Two possible notions of asymptotic flatness are proposed that are compatible with the Poisson bracket on the phase space, and corresponding asymptotic flatness preserving subgroups of the Geroch group are defined which turn out to be compatible with the Poisson bracket on the group. A quantization of the Geroch group is proposed that is similar to, but distinct from, the Yangian, and a certain action of this quantum Geroch group on gravitational observables is shown to preserve the commutation relations of Korotkin and Samtleben's quantization of asymptotically flat cylindrically symmetric gravitational waves. The action also preserves three of the additional conditions that define their quantization. It is conjectured that the action preserves the remaining two conditions (asymptotic flatness and a unit determinant condition on a certain basic field) as well and is, in fact, a symmetry of their model. Our results on the quantum theory are formal, but a possible rigorous formulation based on algebraic quantum theory is outlined.
