Multiparticle contributions to the celestial OPE

Abstract We start by defining two-particle operators that appear in celestial CFT. We then show how to compute their OPE coefficients with the known single-particle operators at tree level from multiparticle factorization channels, focusing on the leading contribution involving the two-particle stat...

description Abstract We start by defining two-particle operators that appear in celestial CFT. We then show how to compute their OPE coefficients with the known single-particle operators at tree level from multiparticle factorization channels, focusing on the leading contribution involving the two-particle states. These factorization channels only give us single-particle exchanges. To extract the multiparticle exchanges, we look at the MHV ¯ $$ \overline{\textrm{MHV}} $$ gluon amplitudes and show how non-factorization channels contribute to two-particle terms in the single-helicity sector. This is a first step towards systematically computing the full celestial OPE.
