Abstract
Here we consider what happens when we lift a codimension-1 slice of the celestial sphere to a codimension-1 slice of the bulk spacetime in a manner that respects our ability to quotient by the null generators of to get to our codimension-2 hologram. The contour integrals of the 2D currents for the celestial symmetries lift to the standard boundary integrals of the 2-form generators for the gauge theory and celestial Ward identities follow directly from Noether's theorem.
