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.

Scalar, vector, and tensor spherical harmonics on dS3 are constructed with explicit antipodal relationships between past and future asymptotic data, even with sources, plus decomposition theorems for tensors obeying inhomogeneous wave equations.
The soft sector phase space of asymptotically flat gravity equals the phase space of radial size fluctuations of a finite causal diamond in flat spacetime.
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.
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.
Constructs bulk scalar field representations in Lorentzian AdS4 from boundary primaries via time-ordered propagators and derives their flat-space limits to plane-wave or Carrollian bases.
A review summarizing Carrollian symmetries, CCFT constructions, and applications in AFS holography, Carroll hydrodynamics, and condensed matter phenomena such as fractons and flat bands.
