The double copy programme relies crucially on the so-called color-kinematics duality which, in turn, is widely believed to descend from a kinematic algebra possessed by gauge theories. In this paper we construct the kinematic algebra of gauge invariant and off-shell self-dual Yang-Mills theory, up to trilinear maps. This structure is a homotopy algebra of the same type as the ones recently uncovered in Chern-Simons and full Yang-Mills theories. To make contact with known results for the self-dual sector, we show that it reduces to the algebra found by Monteiro and O'Connell upon taking light-cone gauge and partially solving the self-duality constraints. Finally, we test a double copy prescription recently proposed in [1] and reproduce self-dual gravity.

  1. The Double Copy of Maximal Supersymmetry in $D=4$

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    N=8 supergravity to cubic order is realized as the off-shell double copy of N=4 super Yang-Mills, with N=8 supersymmetry and SU(8) R-symmetry emerging from the two gauge factors.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Cyclic relative L-infinity algebras encode the full S-matrix, including its trivial part, and reproduce Witten diagrams including CFT two-point functions.

  3. Off-shell double copy theories in BV

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A BV-formalism construction gives off-shell double-copy actions for Chern-Simons, BF, and 2D Yang-Mills theories, with Kodaira-Spencer and Kähler gravity as natural examples.

  4. HEFT Numerators from Kinematic Algebra

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The heavy-mass effective field theory kinematic numerators are derived as the field theory limit of nested commutators of string vertex operators, reproducing and extending earlier fusion-rule results.
