We study tree-level celestial amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory -- Mellin transforms of multi-gluon scattering amplitudes that convert them into the correlators of conformal primary fields on two-dimensional celestial sphere. By using purely field-theoretical methods, we show that the soft conformal limit of celestial amplitudes, in which one of the primary field operators associated to gauge bosons becomes a dimension one current, is dominated by the contributions of low-energy soft particles. This result confirms conclusions reached by using Yang-Mills theory formulated in curvilinear coordinates, as pioneered by Strominger. By using well-known collinear limits of Yang-Mills amplitudes, we derive the OPE rules for the primary fields and the holomorphic currents arising in the conformally soft limit. The Ward identities following from OPE have the same form as the identities derived by using soft theorems.

  1. Shadow Completion in Celestial OPEs

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Celestial OPEs require shadow-basis exchanges of the same bulk particles for consistency, with coefficients fixed by a universal shadow factor.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Restricting one helicity to the wedge sector and introducing shadow charges yields closed mixed-helicity algebras for all spins in gravity and gauge theory, plus dual mass BMS extensions and non-vanishing electromagne...

  3. Carrollian Perspective on Celestial Holography

    hep-th 2022-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A 3d sourced conformal Carrollian field theory is proposed to holographically capture 4d flat gravity kinematics, with Ward identities matching 2d celestial CFT after relating operators.

  4. Soft Algebras via Bulk Double Soft Limits

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Bulk double soft limits introduce subtleties absent from boundary celestial CFTs, so the full soft expansion of gravitational amplitudes cannot be generated from the first three terms via celestial algebras.
