Perturbatively Exact w_(1+infty) Asymptotic Symmetry of Quantum Self-Dual Gravity
read the original abstract
The infinite tower of positive-helicity soft gravitons in any minimally coupled, tree-level, asymptotically flat four-dimensional (4D) gravity was recently shown to generate a $w_{1+\infty}$ asymptotic symmetry algebra. It is natural to ask whether this classical algebra acquires quantum corrections at loop level. We explore this in quantum self-dual gravity, whose amplitudes acquire known one-loop exact all-plus helicity quantum corrections. We show using collinear splitting formulae that, remarkably, the $w_{1+\infty}$ algebra persists in quantum self-dual gravity without corrections.

Soft Algebras via Bulk Double Soft Limits
Bulk double soft limits introduce subtleties absent from boundary celestial CFTs, so the full soft expansion of gravitational amplitudes cannot be generated from the first three terms via celestial algebras.
