We explore conformal primary wavefunctions for all half integer spins up to the graviton. Half steps are related by supersymmetry, integer steps by the classical double copy. The main results are as follows: we 1) introduce a convenient spin frame and null tetrad to organize all radiative modes of varying spin; 2) identify the massless spin-3/2 conformal primary wavefunction as well as the conformally soft Goldstone mode corresponding to large supersymmetry transformations; 3) indicate how to express a conformal primary of arbitrary spin in terms of differential operators acting on a scalar primary; 4) demonstrate that conformal primary metrics satisfy the double copy in a variety of forms -- operator, Weyl, and Kerr-Schild -- and are exact, albeit complex, solutions to the fully non-linear Einstein equations of Petrov type N; 5) propose a novel generalization of conformal primary wavefunctions; and 6) show that this generalization includes a large class of physically interesting metrics corresponding to ultra-boosted black holes, shockwaves and more.

Conformal blocks from celestial graviton amplitudes
The authors construct a single-valued celestial four-graviton correlator from the shadow transform, decompose it into conformal blocks in all channels, and show it is the double copy of the corresponding gluon object.
