Event Details


Scattering amplitudes in any four-dimensional quantum theory of gravity are constrained by an infinite number of symmetries including a two-dimensional conformal symmetry which acts on the celestial sphere at lightlike infinity.
Recent work exploiting these constraints for a holographic description of quantum gravity in asymptotically flat spaces is described.
