[HTML][HTML] Selected topics in analytic conformal bootstrap: A guided journey

A Bissi, A Sinha, X Zhou - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
This review aims to offer a pedagogical introduction to the analytic conformal bootstrap
program via a journey through selected topics. We review analytic methods which include …

Snowmass white paper: the double copy and its applications

T Adamo, JJM Carrasco, M Carrillo-González… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The double copy is, in essence, a map between scattering amplitudes in a broad variety of
familiar field and string theories. In addition to the mathematically rich intrinsic structure, it …

The cosmological bootstrap: spinning correlators from symmetries and factorization

D Baumann, C Duaso Pueyo, A Joyce, H Lee… - SciPost Physics, 2021 - scipost.org
We extend the cosmological bootstrap to correlators involving massless particles with spin.
In de Sitter space, these correlators are constrained both by symmetries and by locality. In …

Bootstrapping inflationary correlators in Mellin space

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We develop a Mellin space approach to boundary correlation functions in anti-de
Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) spaces. Using the Mellin-Barnes representation of correlators …

A Mellin space approach to cosmological correlators

C Sleight - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We propose a Mellin space approach to the evaluation of late-time momentum-
space correlation functions of quantum fields in (d+ 1)-dimensional de Sitter space. The …

Spinning conformal correlators

MS Costa, J Penedones, D Poland… - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
A bstract We develop the embedding formalism for conformal field theories, aimed at doing
computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin. We use an indexfree …

From AdS to dS exchanges: Spectral representation, Mellin amplitudes, and crossing

C Sleight, M Taronna - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In this paper we take the first steps towards bridging the gap between the conformal and
cosmological bootstrap programs. We present a simple general relation between tree-level …

How to succeed at holographic correlators without really trying

L Rastelli, X Zhou - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We give a detailed account of the methods introduced in [1] to calculate
holographic four-point correlators in IIB supergravity on AdS 5× S 5. Our approach relies …

The inflationary wavefunction from analyticity and factorization

D Meltzer - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the analytic properties of tree-level wavefunction coefficients in quasi-de Sitter
space. We focus on theories which spontaneously break dS boost symmetries and can …

Color/kinematics duality in AdS4

C Armstrong, AE Lipstein, J Mei - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract In flat space, the color/kinematics duality states that perturbative Yang-Mills
amplitudes can be written in such a way that kinematic numerators obey the same Jacobi …
