Multiparticle states for the flat hologram
Abstract We use the extrapolate dictionary to revisit the spectrum of operators in Celestial CFT. Under the Celestial CFT map, each state in the 4D Hilbert space should map to one in the 2D Hilbert space. This implies that, beyond the familiar single particle states/operators, there should be multip...

| Summary: | Abstract We use the extrapolate dictionary to revisit the spectrum of operators in Celestial CFT. Under the Celestial CFT map, each state in the 4D Hilbert space should map to one in the 2D Hilbert space. This implies that, beyond the familiar single particle states/operators, there should be multiparticle operators appearing in the celestial OPE. We extend the existing flat-space dictionary by constructing composite primaries from both Carrollian and Celestial perspectives. In the process, we demonstrate some subtleties in deriving the Poincaré primary condition from the Carrollian limit, clarify the compatibility of principal series representations with highest weight representations and unitarity in Celestial CFT, and discuss how the celestial OPE block expansion emerges from a 2D CFT standpoint. |
