Celestial soft currents at one-loop and their OPEs
Conformally soft operators and their associated soft theorems on the celestial sphere encode the low energy behaviour of bulk scattering amplitudes. They lead to an infinite dimensional symmetry algebra of the celestial CFT at tree-level. In this paper, we introduce new operators in the celestial CFT in order to extend the definition of conformally soft currents to include one-loop effects. We then compute their OPEs with other operators in the theory. We also examine new subtleties that arise in defining OPEs of two conformally soft operators. We elucidate the connection between the new operators and loop corrected soft theorems in the bulk. Finally, we conclude by demonstrating how these operators fit into the framework of a logarithmic CFT.

Dual resonant amplitudes from Drinfel'd twists
We postulate the existence of a family of dual resonant, four-point tachyon amplitudes derived using invertible coproduct maps called Drinfel'd twists. A sub-family of these amplitudes exhibits well-defined ultraviolet behaviour, namely in the fixed angle high-energy and Regge scattering regimes. This discovery emerges from a systematic study of the set of observables that can be constructed out of $q$-deformed worldsheet CFTs with the underlying conformal group being the quantum group $SU(1,1)_q$. We conclude our analysis by discussing the possibility (or the lack thereof) of known $q$-deformations of the Veneziano amplitude as an observable in such theories, in particular, the Coon amplitude.Open AccessDual resonant amplitudes from Drinfel'd twists
