Abstract
It is shown that there exists a simple deformed version of Strominger's infinite-dimensional w_{1+∞} algebra of soft graviton symmetries, which we conjecture to arise in spacetimes with a nonvanishing cosmological constant. The deformed algebra contains a subalgebra generating SO(1,4) or SO(2,3) symmetry groups of dS_{4} or AdS_{4}, depending on the sign of the cosmological constant. The transformation properties of soft gauge symmetry currents under the deformed w_{1+∞} are also discussed.
