abstract

In this note we determine the graviton-graviton OPE and the null states in any $w_{1+\infty}$ symmetric theory on the celestial sphere. Our analysis shows that there exists a discrete \textit{infinite} family of such theories. The MHV-sector and the quantum self dual gravity are two members of this infinite family. Although the Bulk Lagrangian description of this family of theories is not currently known to us, the graviton scattering amplitudes in these theories are heavily constrained due to the existence of null states. Presumably they are exactly solvable in the same way as the minimal models of $2$-D CFT.

  1. Holographic symmetry algebra for the MHV sector revisited

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the MHV sector, the celestial symmetry algebra is a semidirect product of w_{1+∞} (or S) with an infinite Abelian algebra, whose null states supply the two missing KZ equations.
