      Celestial symmetry algebras arise from the OPEs of soft gravitons giving rise to the so-called `Lw_{1+\infty} algebra'. This talk will explain how this algebra can be can be understood as the local structure preserving local diffeomorphisms of twistor space. This can be naturally deformed to yield analogues with cosmological constant following https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.18011. We also give a brief introduction to twistor space actions to show how Noether arguments can be used to obtain improved associated charge and flux integrals as originally found by Friedel, Pranzetti and Raclariu; this is joint work with Adam Kmec, Romain Ruzziconi and Akshay Yelleshpur-Srikant https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.04028. If there is time there will be some further open-ended discussion of open questions in celestial holography via twistor theory.

        Asymptotic symmetries for logarithmic soft theorems 5m

        In the last few years, a remarkable link has been established between the soft theorems and asymptotic symmetries of quantum field theories: soft theorems are Ward identities of the asymptotic symmetry generators. In particular, the tree-level subleading soft theorems are the Ward identities of the subleading asymptotic symmetries of the theory, for instance divergent gauge transformation in QED and superrotation in gravity. However, it is known that the subleading soft theorems receive quantum corrections with logarithmic dependence on the soft photon/graviton energy. It is therefore natural to ask how the quantum effects affect the classical (tree-level) symmetry interpretation. In this talk, we explore this question in the context of scalar QED and perturbative gravity. We show that the logarithmic soft theorems are the Ward identities of subleading asymptotic symmetries that arise from relaxed boundary conditions which take long-range interactions into account.

        Quantum Corrections to the Thermodynamics of Cold Black Holes 5m

        I will review an old puzzle related to the breakdown of the semiclassical description of the thermodynamics of very cold (ultraspinning) black holes. Then, I will discuss recent work where we resolved this puzzle by properly accounting for quantum corrections arising from graviton loops, which dominate the low-temperature thermodynamics.

        Celestial Chiral Algebras of self-dual Black Holes 5m

        This talk is based on work in progress with Giuseppe Bogna. We consider the twistor description of classical self-dual Einstein gravity in the presence of a cosmological constant and a defect operator wrapping a certain $\mathbb{CP}^1$. The backreaction of this defect deforms the flat twistor space to that of quaternionic Taub-NUT space, a certain self-dual limit of a family of Kerr Taub-NUT AdS black holes. We discuss a 2-parameter family of Lie-algebras depending on the mass of the black hole and the cosmological constant. In various limits it reduces to algebras which were previously studied in the context of celestial holography and are closely related to $w_{1+\infty}$.

        A Celestial Dual for MHV Amplitudes 5m

        We show that a 2D CFT consisting of a central charge c Liouville theory, a chiral level one, rank N Kac-Moody algebra and a weight −3/2 free fermion holographically generates 4D MHV leaf amplitudes associated to a single hyperbolic slice of flat space. Celestial amplitudes arise in a large-N and semiclassical large-c limit, according to the holographic dictionary, as a translationally-invariant combination of leaf amplitudes. A step in the demonstration is showing that the semiclassical limit of Liouville correlators are given by contact AdS3 Witten diagrams.

        Collinear singularities from a double cover of twistor space 5m

        Based on an idea of Kevin Costello, I will show how to construct a double cover of the twistor space of $\mathbb{R}^4$, $X = \pi^*(\mathcal{O}(1)\oplus\mathcal{O}(1))\to\Sigma$ where $\Sigma$ is an (hyper)elliptic curve. I then discuss how holomorphic theories such as BF and Chern-Simons theory on $X$ descend to theories on ordinary twistor space. Once on twistor space, compactifying along the $\mathbb{CP}^1$ direction of twistor space produces a corresponding 4d theory where we can study the algebra of collinear singularities. I will present my calculations which show that this algebra lives on the elliptic curve defining the double cover of twistor space.

        I will describe shortly what the higher-spin charges are and why they are relevant from a holographic point of view. Besides, I will emphasize the recent result according to which they are realized as Noether charges in a non-linear regime.
