Abstract

The asymptotic symmetry algebra of N=1\mathcal{N}=1 supergravity was recently constructed using the well-known 22D celestial CFT (CCFT) technique in ArXiv: 2007.03785. In this paper, we extend the construction to the maximally supersymmetric four dimensional N=8\mathcal{N}=8 supergravity theory in asymptotically flat spacetime and construct the extended asymptotic symmetry algebra, which we call N=8\mathcal{N}=8 sbms4\mathfrak{sbms}_4. We use the celestial CFT technique to find the appropriate currents for extensions of N=8\mathcal{N}=8 super-Poincar\'{e} and SU(8)R\mathrm{SU}(8)_R R-symmetry current algebra on the celestial sphere CS2\mathcal{CS}^2. We generalise the definition of shadow transformations and show that there is \textit{no} infinite dimensional extension of the global SU(8)R\mathrm{SU}(8)_R algebra in the theory.
