abstract

We use the subleading soft-graviton theorem to construct an operator $T_{zz}$ whose insertion in the four-dimensional tree-level quantum gravity $\mathcal{S}$-matrix obeys the Virasoro-Ward identities of the energy momentum tensor of a two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT$_2$). The celestial sphere at Minkowskian null infinity plays the role of the Euclidean sphere of the CFT$_2$, with the Lorentz group acting as the unbroken $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ subgroup.

Carrollian Perspective on Celestial Holography

hep-th · 2022-02-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A 3d sourced conformal Carrollian field theory is proposed to holographically capture 4d flat gravity kinematics, with Ward identities matching 2d celestial CFT after relating operators.

Mixed-helicity bracket of celestial symmetries

hep-th · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Restricting one helicity to the wedge sector and introducing shadow charges yields closed mixed-helicity algebras for all spins in gravity and gauge theory, plus dual mass BMS extensions and non-vanishing electromagnetic central charges.

From Asymptotically Flat Gravity to Finite Causal Diamonds

hep-th · 2025-12-09 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The angle-averaged soft and Goldstone modes of 4D asymptotically flat gravity are symplectically identified with the radial-size and area-edge modes of a spherically symmetric Minkowski causal diamond.

The Carrollian Kaleidoscope

hep-th · 2025-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 1.0

A review summarizing Carrollian symmetries, CCFT constructions, and applications in AFS holography, Carroll hydrodynamics, and condensed matter phenomena such as fractons and flat bands.
