Self-Dual Black Holes in Celestial Holography

Abstract

We construct two-dimensional quantum states associated to four-dimensional linearized rotating self-dual black holes in (2,2)(2,2) signature Klein space. The states are comprised of global conformal primaries circulating on the celestial torus, the Kleinian analog of the celestial sphere. By introducing a generalized tower of Goldstone operators we identify the states as coherent exponentiations carrying an infinite tower of w1+{\rm w}_{1+\infty} charges or soft hair. We relate our results to recent approaches to black hole scattering, including a connection to Wilson lines, S\mathcal{S}-matrix results, and celestial holography in curved backgrounds.
