| Summary: | Abstract We discuss the properties of recently constructed “single-valued” celestial four-gluon amplitudes. We show that the amplitude factorizes into the “current” part and the “scalar” part. The current factor is given by the group-dependent part of the Wess-Zumino-Witten correlator of four holomorphic currents with a non-vanishing level of Kač-Moody algebra. The scalar factor can be expressed in terms of a complex integral of the Koba-Nielsen form, similar to the integrals describing four-point correlators in Coulomb gas models and, more generally, in the infinite central charge limit of Liouville theory. The scalar part can be also obtained by a dimensional reduction of a single D = 4 conformal block and the shadow block from Minkowski space to the celestial sphere.
