We compute the operator product expansions of gluons and gravitons in celestial CFT from the worldsheet OPE of vertex operators of four-dimensional ambitwistor string theories. Remarkably, the worldsheet OPE localizes on the short-distance…

The celestial $S$-algebra arose from a reinterpretation of collinear limits of the Yang-Mills S-matrix as OPEs in celestial holography. It was subsequently represented via asymptotic charge aspects defined in the Yang-Mills radiative phase…

Inspired by the idea of viewing amplitudes in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM as differential forms on momentum twistor space, we introduce differential forms on the space of spinor variables, which combine helicity amplitudes in any four-dimensional…

We define a theory of gravity by constructing a gravitational holonomy operator in twistor space. The theory is a gauge theory whose Chan-Paton factor is given by a trace over elements of Poincar\'{e} algebra and Iwahori-Hecke algebra. This…
