Title: The Cotton Double Copy
Abstract:
The classical double copy relates specific solutions in gauge theories to their gravitational counterparts which, under certain conditions, can be related to on-shell three-particle scattering amplitudes. In this talk, I will discuss how certain classical curvature spinors in topologically massive gauge theories and gravity can inherit the double copy from the underlying three-particle amplitudes resulting in the Cotton double copy, a three-dimensional cousin of the Weyl double copy.
