In this paper we discuss a higher spin extension of the holographic symmetry algebra for graviton and gluon. Our primary observation is that in the presence of higher spin particles the soft symmetry algebra has a subalgebra isomorphic to…
W_{1+infty} is defined as an infinite dimensional Lie algebra spanned by the unit operator and the Laurent modes of a series of local quasiprimary chiral fields V^l(z) of dimension l+1 (l=0,1,2,...). These fields are neutral with respect to…
It is shown that the infinite tower of tree-level soft graviton symmetries in asymptotically flat 4D quantum gravity can be organized into a single chiral 2D Kac-Moody symmetry based on the wedge algebra of w(1+infinity). The infinite…
It has been recently shown that classical $J\bar T$ - deformed CFTs possess an infinite-dimensional Witt-Ka\v{c}-Moody symmetry, generated by certain field-dependent coordinate and gauge transformations. On a cylinder, however, the equal…
Quantum gravity in 4D asymptotically flat spacetimes features spontaneous symmetry breaking due to soft radiation hair, intimately tied to the proliferation of IR divergences. A holographic description via a putative 2D CFT is expected free…
We demonstrate that commutativity of numerous one-dimensional subalgebras in $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra, i.e. the existence of many non-trivial integrable systems described in recent arXiv:2303.05273 follows from the subset of relations in…
We provide a unified treatment of conformally soft Goldstone modes which arise when spin-one or spin-two conformal primary wavefunctions become pure gauge for certain integer values of the conformal dimension $\Delta$. This effort lands us…
The affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ is known to be isomorphic to ${\cal W}_{1+\infty}$, the $W$-algebra that characterizes the bosonic higher spin -- CFT duality. In this paper we propose defining relations of the Yangian that are…
We define a class of $A_\infty$-algebras that are obtained by deformations of higher spin symmetries. While higher spin symmetries of a free CFT form an associative algebra, the slightly broken higher spin symmetries give rise to a minimal…
Celestial amplitudes which use conformal primary wavefunctions rather than plane waves as external states offer a novel opportunity to study properties of amplitudes with manifest conformal covariance and give insight into a potential…
We consider the growth of cosmological perturbations in modified gravity models where a scalar field mediates a non-universal Yukawa force between different matter species. The growth of the density contrast is altered for scales below the…
A central feature of scattering amplitudes in gravity or gauge theory is the existence of a variety of energetically soft theorems which put constraints on the amplitudes. Celestial amplitudes which are obtained from momentum-space…
In this paper, we analyze the loop corrections to celestial OPE for gluons and gravitons. Even at the loop level, the soft gluons and gravitons have conformal dimensions $\Delta=1-\mathbb Z_{\geq 0}$. The only novelty is the presence of…
We consider a minimal fractional deformation of Newtonian gravity characterized by a single parameter $\alpha$. In the limit $\alpha \to 1$, the theory reduces to standard Newtonian gravity. Previous works showed that the $\Lambda$CDM…
At extreme energies, both low and high, the spacetime symmetries of relativistic quantum field theories (QFTs) are expected to change with Galilean symmetries emerging in the very low energy domain and, as we will argue, Carrollian…
We consider the Moyal deformation of self-dual gravity. In the conformal primary basis, holomorphic collinear limits of the amplitudes of this theory show that it enjoys a perturbatively exact symmetry algebra $LW_\wedge$ that generalises…
We investigate the phase space of a typical model of 1+1 dimensional gravity (Jackiw-Teitelboim model with cylindrical topology) using its reformulation as a non abelian gauge theory based on the sl(2,R) algebra. Modifying the conventional…
We start by observing that the light-ray operators featured in the conformal collider literature are celestial primaries. This allows us to rephrase the corresponding 4D CFT correlators as probing a conformally soft matter sector of the 2D…
We present a new formulation for the canonical approach to conformal (Weyl-squared) gravity and its extension by the Einstein-Hilbert term and a nonminimally coupled scalar field. For this purpose we use a unimodular decomposition of the…
We propose alternative \textit{UV completion} of pure JT gravity as well as CFT coupled to JT gravity, via a class of \textit{deformed} 2D CFT. In AdS/CFT with a prescribed classical limit, pure JT gravity in \textit{one-sided} AdS$_{2}$…
