Zusammenfassung: | The recently devised chiral algebra bootstrap computes the form factors of a
special class of ``twistorial'' 4d QFTs as correlation functions of the
theory's 2d celestial chiral algebra. Examples of twistorial theories include
self-dual Yang-Mills theory coupled to special massless matter content, and
certain form factors in these theories are equivalent to a subset of MHV
amplitudes in massless QCD, coupled to the same matter. In this paper, we
extend the chiral algebra bootstrap to include scattering in the presence of
charged sources, using a self-dual dyon in a twistorial theory as our main
example. Self-dual theories in the presence of such sources lift to holomorphic
gauge theories on non-Hausdorff twistor space, and we generalize the Koszul
duality construction of Costello and Paquette to this setting. With this
approach, we easily reproduce a recent formula of Adamo, Bogna, Mason, and
Sharma for $n$-point MHV scattering of gluons off the self-dual dyon. |
