Soft gravity by squaring soft QED on the celestial sphere

Nikhil Kalyanapuram (Department of Physics and Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA)

We recast the soft S matrices on the celestial sphere as correlation functions of certain two-dimensional models of topological defects. In pointing out the double-copy structure between the soft photon and soft graviton cases, we arrive at a putative classical double copy between the corresponding topological models and a rederivation of gauge invariance and the equivalence principle as Ward identities of the two-dimensional theories.
