Abstract

We give a dual CFT representation of MHV leaf amplitudes in the large NN and semiclassical limit in terms of non-compact parafermions and a single affine Kac-Moody current for SO(N)SO(N). This representation is consistent with the other 2D CFT realization of 4D leaf amplitudes proposed in the literature, which is based on a dressed Liouville theory. The equivalence between the two CFT descriptions arises from the H3+H_3^+ WZW-Liouville correspondence, applied to the SL(2,R)/U(1)SL(2,\mathbb{R})/U(1) coset theory in the spectrally flowed sector.
