Abstract
In 2021 Kapranov proposed a definition of derived conformal algebra, a differential graded Lie algebra uniting conformal symmetries with deformations of conformal structure. This was done by passing to the ambitwistor space, which is a holomorphic contact manifold, whose contact geometry encodes the conformal geometry of spacetime. I will discuss how this may be useful for physics.
