abstract

Both celestial and momentum space amplitudes in four dimensions are beset by divergences resulting from spacetime translation and sometimes scale invariance. In this paper we consider a (linearized) marginal deformation of the celestial CFT for Yang-Mills theory which preserves 2D conformal invariance but breaks both spacetime translation and scale invariance and involves a chirally coupled massive scalar. The resulting celestial amplitudes are completely finite (apart from the usual soft and collinear divergences) and take the canonical CFT form. Moreover, we show they can be simply rewritten in terms of AdS$_3$-Witten contact diagrams which evaluate to the well-known $D$-functions, thereby forging a direct connection between flat and AdS holography.

  1. Conformal Partial Wave Expansion of Celestial Correlators

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Celestial correlators in Minkowski space admit conformal partial wave expansions with meromorphic spectral densities, enabling conformal block expansions that simplify dramatically for massless scalars.

  2. Conformal blocks from celestial graviton amplitudes

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Celestial Mellin Amplitudes

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Celestial correlators in Minkowski space admit a Mellin representation whose amplitudes are meromorphic, with polynomial contacts, double-trace-like exchange poles, and loop diagrams proportional to tree-level exchange.

  4. High Energy String Theory and the Celestial Sphere

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The high-energy string amplitude and the celestial sphere amplitude share the same saddle point, and their subleading 1/alpha' and 1/beta corrections match order by order.

    A dual 2D CFT description of MHV leaf amplitudes using non-compact parafermions is shown to reproduce the known dressed Liouville realization.

  6. The Sky Remembers everything: Celestial amplitude, Shadow and OPE in quadratic EFT of gravity

    hep-th 2025-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    In quadratic gravity, celestial eikonal amplitudes are claimed to be meromorphic rather than distributional, with OPE data extracted from a shadowed correlator.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    This thesis derives deformations of celestial chiral algebras in self-dual gravity on curved backgrounds, obtaining W(infinity) on Eguchi-Hanson space, Ldiff_q(C) under Moyal deformation, and a two-parameter deformati...

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A 2d chiral action on the momentum-space celestial sphere is shown to reproduce BMS and w1+∞ symmetries, stress tensors, and soft dressing of 4d self-dual gravity.
