Self-dual gravity is a diffeomorphism invariant theory in four dimensions that describes two propagating polarisations of the graviton and has a negative mass dimension coupling constant. Nevertheless, this theory is not only renormalisable but quantum finite, as we explain. We also collect various facts about self-dual gravity that are scattered across the literature.

  1. Amplitudes in self-dual (higher-spin) theories

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    All self-dual theories with or without higher-spin fields possess nontrivial tree-level amplitudes in Kleinian or complex Minkowski kinematics, completing the celestial analogue of the higher-spin duality.

  2. Self-dual gravity from higher-spin theory

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Self-dual gravity with cosmological constant emerges uniquely as the rigid lower-spin sector of four-dimensional higher-spin interactions when only self-dual vertices are kept.
