Description

Conformal supergravities are an intriguing class of theories; although they contain ghost-like states suggesting non-unitary behavior, they may have exceptionally good behavior in the ultraviolet regime. In this talk I will describe aspects of their tree-level scattering amplitudes, showing how they can be understood from double copy, Lagrangian, and string theory perspectives.
