Event description:
I will review the highlights of Strominger’s program of celestial holography, focusing on emerging connections to twisted holography, topological strings and twistor theory. A running example of the talk will be holography for certain self-dual theories placed on an asymptotically flat, scalar-flat Kahler geometry known as Burns space. This is based on work done in collaboration with Kevin Costello and Natalie M. Paquette.
