Celestial amplitudes on electromagnetic backgrounds: T-duality from S-duality

Tristan McLoughlin, Nathan Moynihan, Andrea Puhm

What is the boundary holographic dual of S-duality for gauge theories in asymptotically flat space-times? Celestial amplitudes, by virtue of exhibiting holographic properties of th…

Asymptotic Symmetries for Logarithmic Soft Theorems in Gauge Theory and Gravity

Sangmin Choi, Alok Laddha, Andrea Puhm

Gauge theories and perturbative gravity in four dimensions are governed by a tower of infinite-dimensional symmetries which arise from tree-level soft theorems. However, aside from…

Celestial open strings at one-loop

Laura Donnay, Gaston Giribet, Hernán González +2

We study celestial amplitudes in string theory at one-loop. Celestial amplitudes describe scattering processes of boost eigenstates and relate to amplitudes in the more standard ba…

The correspondence between rotating black holes and fundamental strings

Nejc Čeplak, Roberto Emparan, Andrea Puhm +1

The correspondence principle between strings and black holes is a general framework for matching black holes and massive states of fundamental strings at a point where their physic…

Symmetries in Celestial CFT

Yorgo Pano, Andrea Puhm, Emilio Trevisani

We use tools from conformal representation theory to classify the symmetries associated to conformally soft operators in celestial CFT (CCFT) in general dimensions . The conform…

Celestial holography on Kerr-Schild backgrounds

Riccardo Gonzo, Tristan McLoughlin, Andrea Puhm

We explore the celestial holography proposal for non-trivial asymptotically flat backgrounds including the Coulomb field of a static and spinning point charge, their gravitational…

Goldilocks Modes and the Three Scattering Bases

Laura Donnay, Sabrina Pasterski, Andrea Puhm

We consider massless scattering from the point of view of the position, momentum, and celestial bases. In these three languages different properties of physical processes become ma…

Shifting Spin on the Celestial Sphere

Sabrina Pasterski, Andrea Puhm

We explore conformal primary wavefunctions for all half integer spins up to the graviton. Half steps are related by supersymmetry, integer steps by the classical double copy. The m…

Loops on the Celestial Sphere

Hernan A. Gonzalez, Andrea Puhm, Francisco Rojas

We study the effect of loop corrections to conformal correlators on the celestial sphere at null infinity. We first analyze finite one-loop celestial amplitudes in pure Yang-Mills…

Double Copy for Celestial Amplitudes

Eduardo Casali, Andrea Puhm

Celestial amplitudes which use conformal primary wavefunctions rather than plane waves as external states offer a novel opportunity to study properties of amplitudes with manifest…

Asymptotic Symmetries and Celestial CFT

Laura Donnay, Sabrina Pasterski, Andrea Puhm

We provide a unified treatment of conformally soft Goldstone modes which arise when spin-one or spin-two conformal primary wavefunctions become pure gauge for certain integer value…

Conformally Soft Theorem In Gravity

Andrea Puhm

A central feature of scattering amplitudes in gravity or gauge theory is the existence of a variety of energetically soft theorems which put constraints on the amplitudes. Celestia…

Conformally Soft Photons and Gravitons

Laura Donnay, Andrea Puhm, Andrew Strominger

The four-dimensional -matrix is reconsidered as a correlator on the celestial sphere at null infinity. Asymptotic particle states can be characterized by the point at which they…
