# Jacobi identity or associativity of celestial OPE
Jacobi identity of the algebra of [[0009 Soft theorems|soft modes]] puts constraints on the couplings between fields of different spins, as shown in [[2021#Mago, Ren, Srikant, Volovich]]. Later, it was demonstrated to be equivalent to the associativity of [[0114 Celestial OPE|celestial OPE]]. The implications of the constraints that Jacobi identity be satisfied are investigated in [[2022#Ren, Spradlin, Srikant, Volovich]].
