Celestial MHV amplitudes are comprised of non-distributional leaf amplitudes associated to an AdS$_3$ leaf of a foliation of flat spacetime. It is shown here that the leaf amplitudes are governed by the same infinite-dimensional soft…

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…

We consider the Carrollian limit of OPE blocks of scalar primaries, spin-1 currents and the stress tensor in 3-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT$_3$). We demonstrate that these OPE blocks decompose into OPE blocks of towers of…

By using the $K$-free complex bosons and the $K$-free complex fermions, we construct the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric $W_{\infty}^{K,K}$ algebra which is the matrix generalization of previous ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric $W_{\infty}$ algebra.…

We derive a new Minkowski space action for the pure gluonic sector of QCD that implements new interaction vertices local in the light-cone time with at least four legs and fixed helicities - the lowest vertex is the four-point MHV…

This paper presents two methods to compute scale anomaly coefficients in conformal field theories (CFTs), such as the c anomaly in four dimensions, in terms of the CFT data. We first use Euclidean position space to show that the anomaly…

Celestial scattering amplitudes for massless particles are Mellin transforms of momentum-space scattering amplitudes with respect to the energies of the external particles, and behave as conformal correlators on the celestial sphere.…
