abstract
The soft limits of scattering amplitudes have been extensively studied due to their essential role in the computation of physical observables in collider physics. The universal factorisation that occurs in these kinematic limits has been shown to be related to conservation laws associated with asymptotic, or large, gauge symmetries. This connection has led to a deeper understanding of the symmetries of gauge and gravitational theories and to a reformulation of scattering amplitudes in a basis of boost eigenstates which makes manifest the two-dimensional global conformal symmetry of the celestial sphere. The recast, or celestial, amplitudes possess many of the properties of conformal field theory correlation functions which has suggested a path towards a holographic description of asymptotically flat spacetimes. In this review we consider these interconnected developments in our understanding of soft theorems, asymptotic symmetries and conformal field theory with a focus on the structure and symmetries of the celestial amplitudes and their holographic interpretation.

A path integral with asymptotic boundary conditions produces the gravitational S-matrix and derives soft graviton theorems from extended BMS symmetry Ward identities.
Quantum width of spherically symmetric black hole horizons is defined by signal escape timing and calculated in perturbative quantum gravity to often greatly exceed the Planck length, scaling as sqrt(l_P r_s^2 / sigma_perp) for Schwarzschild patches.
The work identifies a broader class of 2D Carrollian CFT correlators that encode massive 3D Minkowski S-matrices and constructs the corresponding bulk-to-boundary propagator.
The Kerr-Schild double copy does not map residual symmetries between Yang-Mills and gravity; gravitational conformal Killing vectors are shown to be BRST-exact after a Weyl-compensated complex, leaving only global isometries.
An agentic AI workflow constructs Carrollian conformal bases for massive and tachyonic particles via a Poincare-Carrollian intertwiner that requires complex momentum shifts.
Review of so(1,D) representations for de Sitter space across all D, covering mixed symmetry and fermions, connected to propagating fields.
