Title: Burns space and celestial holography

Abstract: Celestial holography aims to describe scattering amplitudes of theories on asymptotically flat space times in terms of two-dimensional CFTs. I will describe an explicit top-down example, where correlators of a 2d chiral CFT at large N match amplitudes of a 4d theory on an asymptotically flat manifold known as Burns space.
