abstract

In this paper we compute the celestial operator product expansion between two outgoing positive helicity gravitons in the self dual gravity. It has been shown that the self dual gravity is a $ w_{1+\infty} $-invariant theory whose scattering amplitudes are one loop exact with all positive helicity gravitons. Celestial $w_{1+\infty}$ symmetry is generated by an infinite tower of (conformally soft) gravitons which are holomorphic conserved currents. We find that at any given order only a \textit{finite} number of $w_{1+\infty}$ descendants contribute to the OPE. This is somewhat surprising because the spectrum of conformal dimensions in celestial CFT is not bounded from below. However, this is consistent with our earlier analysis based on the representation theory of $w_{1+\infty}$. The phenomenon of truncation suggests that in some (unknown) formulation the spectrum of conformal dimensions in the dual two dimensional theory can be bounded from below.

  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.
