[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 cosmological bootstrap

D Baumann, D Green, A Joyce, E Pajer… - SciPost Physics …, 2024 - scipost.org
This white paper summarizes recent progress in the cosmological bootstrap, an approach to
the study of the statistics of primordial fluctuations from consistency with unitarity, locality and …

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 …

Self-Dual Gravity and Color-Kinematics Duality in

A Lipstein, S Nagy - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We show that self-dual gravity in Euclidean four-dimensional anti–de Sitter space (AdS 4)
can be described by a scalar field with a cubic interaction written in terms of a deformed …

Linking the singularities of cosmological correlators

D Baumann, WM Chen, C Duaso Pueyo… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Much of the structure of cosmological correlators is controlled by their singularities,
which in turn are fixed in terms of flat-space scattering amplitudes. An important challenge is …

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 …

The graviton four-point function in de Sitter space

J Bonifacio, H Goodhew, A Joyce, E Pajer… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We compute the tree-level late-time graviton four-point correlation function, and the
related quartic wavefunction coefficient, for Einstein gravity in de Sitter spacetime. We derive …

The analytic wavefunction

SA Salcedo, MHG Lee, S Melville, E Pajer - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The wavefunction in quantum field theory is an invaluable tool for tackling a variety
of problems, including probing the interior of Minkowski spacetime and modelling boundary …

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 …
