Celestial two-point functions and rectified dictionary

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-12-13 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

A naive celestial dictionary causes massless two-point functions to take the delta-function forms in the celestial conformal field theory (CCFT). We rectify the dictionary, involving the shadow transformation so that the two-point functions follow the standard power-law. In this new definition, we can smoothly take the massless limit of the massive dictionary. We also compute a three-point function using the new dictionary and discuss the OPE in CCFT.
