We study the celestial description of the $O(N)$ sigma model in the large $N$ limit as introduced by Coleman, Jackiw and Politzer. Focusing on three dimensions, we analyze the implications of a UV complete, all-loop order 4-point amplitude…

We use on-shell methods to compute all three-point interactions of massive spin-3/2 particles involving a graviton and particles of spin $\leq 1$. By employing the massive spinor-helicity formalism we identify the interactions which have a…

We propose an integral transformation for celestial gluon amplitudes that maps the celestial coordinates \((z_i,\bar z_i)\) to a new set of complex variables \((s_i,\bar s_i)\), inspired by the structure of closed string scattering…

Holographic correlators on the celestial sphere of Minkowski space were recently defined in arXiv:2301.01810 as the extrapolation of bulk time-ordered correlation functions to the celestial sphere. In this work we explore the Mellin…

We explore celestial amplitude corresponding to $2d$ bulk $\mathcal{S}$-matrix. We consider scalar particles with identical mass and show that the celestial amplitude becomes the fourier transform of the $2d$ $\mathcal{S}$-matrix written in…

We study a class of three-point functions on the de Sitter universe and on the asymptotic cone. A blending of geometrical ideas and analytic methods is used to compute some remarkable integrals, on the basis of a generalized star-triangle…

The soft limits of scattering amplitudes have been extensively studied due to their essential role in the computation of physical observables in collider physics. The universal factorisation that occurs in these kinematic limits has been…

We transform the one-loop four-point type $\mathrm{I}$ open superstring gluon amplitude to correlation functions on the celestial sphere including both the (non-)orientable planar and non-planar sector. This requires a Mellin transform with…

Celestial holography expresses $\mathcal{S}$-matrix elements as correlators in a CFT living on the night sky. Poincar\'e invariance imposes additional selection rules on the allowed positions of operators. As a consequence, $n$-point…
