Abstract

We propose a holographic duality for a four dimensional WZW model with target manifold SO(8)\mathrm{SO}(8), coupled to scalar-flat K\"ahler gravity on an asymptotically flat, four dimensional background known as the Burns metric. The holographic dual is a two dimensional chiral algebra built out of gauged beta-gamma systems with SO(8)\mathrm{SO}(8) flavor. We test the duality by matching two-point correlators of soft gluon currents with two-point gluon amplitudes, and their leading OPE coefficients with collinear limits of three-point gluon amplitudes.
