abstract
We derive exact solutions of massless free field equations and tree-level two-point amplitudes up to spin 2 on self-dual Taub-NUT space-time, as well as on its single copy, the self-dual dyon. We use Killing spinors to build analogues of momentum eigenstates, finding that, in the spirit of color-kinematics duality, those for the self-dual dyon lift directly to provide states on the self-dual Taub-NUT background if one replaces charge with energy. We discover that they are forced to have faster growth at infinity than in flat space due to the topological non-triviality of these backgrounds. The amplitudes for massless scalars and spinning particles in the $(+\,+)$ and $(+\,-)$ helicity configurations vanish for generic kinematics as a consequence of the integrability of the self-dual sector. The $(-\,-)$ amplitudes are non-vanishing and we compute them exactly in the backgrounds, which are treated non-perturbatively. It is explained how spin is easily introduced via a Newman-Janis imaginary shift along the spin-vector leading directly to the additional well-known exponential factor in the dot product of the spin with the momenta. We also observe a double copy relation between the gluon amplitude on a self-dual dyon and graviton amplitude on a self-dual Taub-NUT space-time.

Mass/electric versus NUT/magnetic charges: duality from scattering amplitudes in $D\geq4$ and for all bosonic spins
Kerr-NUT mass/electric and equal-NUT/magnetic charges are dual in D≥4, realized as J_σ ↔ J_−σ in 3-point amplitudes generated by a spin-raising operator for all bosonic spins.

Incidence Relations for Self-Dual Black Holes
Closed-form deformed incidence relations are constructed for Eguchi-Hanson, self-dual Taub-NUT, and self-dual Plebanski-Demianski spacetimes by resumming the Dunajski-Mason recursion in Plebanski coordinates.

Higher-spins on Taub-NUT and higher-spin Taub-NUT
Higher-spin fields are solved exactly on the Taub-NUT instanton in the self-dual Yang-Mills truncation, and an order-by-order convergent higher-spin Taub-NUT solution is constructed in self-dual gravity, organized by ...

An Exact Black Hole Scattering Amplitude
For the self-dual black hole (NUT charge equal to mass), perihelion precession vanishes to all orders in G, and the exact quantum amplitude is the Fourier transform of the exponentiated classical eikonal phase.
