Carrollian Perspective on Celestial Holography

arXiv:2202.04702 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.071602

Abstract

We show that a sourced conformal Carrollian field theory has the right kinematic properties to holographically describe gravity in asymptotically flat spacetime. The external sources encode the leaks of gravitational radiation at null infinity. The Ward identities of this theory are shown to reproduce those of the celestial CFT after relating Carrollian to celestial operators. This suggests a new set of interplays between gravity in asymptotically flat spacetime, sourced conformal Carrollian field theory and celestial CFT.
