Carrollian Perspective on Celestial Holography

Abstract

We show that a 3d3d sourced conformal Carrollian field theory has the right kinematic properties to holographically describe gravity in 4d4d asymptotically flat spacetime. The external sources encode the leaks of gravitational radiation at null infinity. The Ward identities of this theory are shown to reproduce those of the 2d2d celestial CFT after relating Carrollian to celestial operators. This suggests a new set of interplays between gravity in asymptotically flat spacetime, sourced conformal Carrollian field theory and celestial CFT.
