show that the perturbative expansion of late-time correlation functions to all orders can be …

From dS to AdS and back

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer

between boundary correlators in de Sitter (dS) and in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space …

Conformal basis for flat space amplitudes

S Pasterski, SH Shao - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We study solutions of the Klein-Gordon, Maxwell, and linearized Einstein equations in R 1,
d+ 1 that transform as d-dimensional conformal primaries under the Lorentz group SO (1, d+ …

AdS bulk locality from sharp CFT bounds

S Caron-Huot, D Mazáč, L Rastelli… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract It is a long-standing conjecture that any CFT with a large central charge and a large
gap∆ gap in the spectrum of higher-spin single-trace operators must be dual to a local …

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 …

Defects in conformal field theory

M Billo, V Gonçalves, E Lauria, M Meineri - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
