Abstract
We discuss supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to dilatons in the framework of celestial holography. We show that in the presence of point-like dilaton sources, the CCFT operators associated with the gauge supermultiplet acquire a simple, factorized form. They factorize into the holomorphic (super)current part and the exponential “light” operators of Liouville theory, in the infinite central charge limit. The current sector exhibits (1,0) supersymmetry, thus implementing spacetime supersymmetry in CCFT.
