Celestial holography posits that the long-distance behavior of gauge and gravity theories is dictated by two-dimensional conformal field theories defined on the celestial sphere. For non-abelian gauge theories, this proposal is verified, to…

$S$ algebra is an infinite dimensional Lie algebra which is known to be the symmetry algebra of some gauge theories. It is a "coloured version" of the $w_{1+\infty}$. In this paper we write down all possible $S$ invariant (celestial) OPEs…

Self-dual theories are powerful toy models of their completions. It was shown recently that there are infinitely many SD-theories once massless higher-spin fields are allowed. The maximal SD-theory is chiral higher-spin gravity. Following…
