We explore celestial amplitude corresponding to $2d$ bulk $\mathcal{S}$-matrix. We consider scalar particles with identical mass and show that the celestial amplitude becomes the fourier transform of the $2d$ $\mathcal{S}$-matrix written in…

In this paper we show how gauge symmetries in an effective theory can be used to simplify proofs of factorization formulae in highly energetic hadronic processes. We use the soft-collinear effective theory, generalized to deal with…

The tree-level scattering amplitudes of general relativity encode the full non-linearity of the Einstein field equations. Yet remarkably compact expressions for these amplitudes have been found which seem unrelated to a perturbative…

In this paper, we compute the celestial amplitude arising from higher curvature corrections to Einstein gravity, incorporating phase dressing. The inclusion of such corrections leads to effective modifications of the theory's ultraviolet…

Scattering amplitudes have their origin in quantum field theory, but have wide-ranging applications extending to classical physics. We review a formalism to connect certain classical observables to scattering amplitudes. An advantage of…

The soft breaking of gauge or other symmetries is the typical Quantum Field Theory phenomenon. In many cases one can apply the St$\ddot{\rm u}$ckelberg procedure, which means introducing some additional field or fields and restore the gauge…

We review some recent developments in the conformal gravity theory that has been advanced as a candidate alternative to standard Einstein gravity. As a quantum theory the conformal theory is both renormalizable and unitary, with unitarity…

A scalar-tensor theory of gravity is formulated in which $G$ and particle masses are allowed to vary. The theory yields a globally static cosmological model with no evolutionary timescales, no cosmological coincidences, and no flatness and…

We consider the tree-level scattering amplitudes in the NS-NS (Neveu-Schwarz) massless sector of closed superstrings in the case where one external state becomes soft. We compute the amplitudes generically for any number of dimensions and…

Gauge/Gravity dualities open the non-perturbative realms of strongly-coupled gauge theories to analytic treatment. Anti-de Sitter Space/Conformal Field The- ory, one way of connecting gravity dual models to gauge theories, is a correspon-…

The BCFW recursion relations provide a powerful way to compute tree amplitudes in gauge theories and gravity, but only hold if some amplitudes vanish when two of the momenta are taken to infinity in a particular complex direction. This is a…

We compute the Mellin transforms of various two-dimensional integrable $S$-matrices, providing the first explicit, non-perturbative realizations of celestial CFT. In two dimensions, the Mellin transform is simply the Fourier transform in…

We study the soft theorems for photons and gravitons at finite temperatures using the thermofield dynamics approach. The soft factors lose universality at finite temperatures as the soft amplitudes depend on the nature (or spin) of the…

We consider a Yang-Mills type gauge theory of gravity based on the conformal group SO(4,2) coupled to a conformally invariant real scalar field. The goal is to generate fundamental dimensional constants via spontaneous breakdown of the…

We compute tree-level celestial operator product expansions (OPE) in a bosonic sub-sector of the Berkovits-Witten conformal supergravity from the scattering amplitudes in the MHV configuration. While the OPE between a leading soft graviton…

We show how the $S$-matrix of an extended theory of gravity defined by its three-point amplitudes can be constructed by demanding factorisation. The resultant $S$-matrix has tree amplitudes obeying the same soft singularity theorems as…

We investigate whether the effective theory for isolated, massive, and weakly interacting spin-$3/2$ particles is compatible with causality and unitarity-i.e., the positivity of scattering amplitudes. We find no solution to positivity…

In this paper, we studied the relationship between celestial holography and chiral strings. Chiral strings differ from the usual string theory by a change of boundary conditions on the string propagators. It is shown that chiral strings…

We derive cosmological soft theorems for solids coupled to gravity. To this end, we first derive all cosmological adiabatic modes for solids, which display the interesting novelty of non-vanishing anisotropic stresses on large scales. Then,…

Celestial diamonds encode the structure of global conformal multiplets in 2D celestial CFT and offer a natural language for describing the conformally soft sector. The operators appearing at their left and right corners give rise to…
