We give an explicit realization of the 4d local operator / 2d conformal block correspondence of Costello and Paquette in the case of gauge theories. This is accomplished by lifting the 4d local operators to non-local operators in twistor space using a holomorphic generalization of the Wilson line. This procedure automatically constructs the 2d conformal blocks corresponding to the local operator. We interpret this lifting as effectively integrating out the 2d degrees of freedom living on the defect. We present some 2d chiral CFT representations of the defect algebra whose correlators reproduce the conformal blocks obtained by the lifting procedure.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The celestial S-algebra is shown to unify the twistor, null-infinity, and twisted-holography descriptions of self-dual Yang-Mills, with new two-helicity charges and a nonlinear extrapolate dictionary.

    hep-th 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hodges' all-multiplicity graviton MHV determinant is exactly generated by a one-particle recursion that takes the form of an Lw_{1+∞} Ward identity.
