Chaos in celestial CFT

A bstract Celestial holography proposes a duality between gravitational scattering in asymptotically flat space-time and conformal field theory living on the celestial sphere. Its dictionary relates infinite dimensional symmetry group to Ward identities of CFT. The spontaneous breaking these asymptotic symmetries governs dynamics soft sector Here we show that this encodes non-trivial backreaction effects exhibit characteristics maximal quantum chaos. key element derivation is identification Hilbert space CFT, defined through radial quantization, with constantly accelerating Rindler observer. From point view bulk, particles Lyapunov behavior due shockwave interactions shift observer horizon. boundary, superrotation Goldstone modes affect relevant representations Virasoro manner induces out-of-time-ordered correlators.
