abstract
We present a conformal field theory which desribes a homogeneous four dimensional Lorentz-signature space-time. The model is an ungauged WZW model based on a central extension of the Poincar\'e algebra. The central charge of this theory is exactly four, just like four dimensional Minkowski space. The model can be interpreted as a four dimensional monochromatic plane wave. As there are three commuting isometries, other interesting geometries are expected to emerge via $O(3,3)$ duality.

Two-dimensional higher-spin gravity with vanishing cosmological constant contains an infinite collection of scalar fields with continuously increasing masses arising from the twisted coadjoint representation of an infinite-dimensional algebra.
Classification of 34 Haantjes structures on h4 Lie algebra yields three new integrable sigma models on H4 via deformation of the chiral model under solved integrability conditions.
