CFT3 Realizations and Celestial Representation Theory of the ℒΛw1+∞ Algebra
Abstract
We study CFT3 realizations and celestial representations of the ℒΛw1+∞ algebra. Free scalar and Dirac theories yield the same one-particle light-ray action. This action extends to the critical O(N) model at N=∞. At large but finite N, we use the light-ray algebra under its closure assumptions and check prescribed iterated limits of the frequency kernel. In the dimension-completed celestial hard-graviton representation, a closed raising subalgebra annihilates G3+ exactly. We construct two nonzero singular descendants in its induced module and prove that both vanish in the celestial realization. They implement the finite-spin condition and massless spin-two shortening of the generated highest-weight sector. The nonzero-Λ quadratic Casimir has eigenvalue three throughout the hard family. The null descendants and low-spin Ward identities yield ordered differential--difference equations for celestial correlators.
