Three dimensional (3d) Carrollian CFTs are potential co-dimension one holographic duals of 4d asymptotically flat spacetimes that live on the whole of the null boundary. In this paper, we show that the local stress tensor of the 3d…

Celestial CFT$_d$ is the putative dual of quantum gravity in asymptotically flat $(d+2)$ dimensional space time. We argue that a class of Celestial CFT$_d$ can be engineered via AdS$_{d+1}$-CFT$_d$ correspondence. Our argument is based on…

It is shown that time-ordered correlation functions of a unitary CFT$_2$ in 2D Minkowski space admit a single-valued, conformally-invariant extension to the Lorentzian signature torus provided that the $S^1\times S^1$ spatial and temporal…
