Amplitudes meet cosmology: A (scalar) primer

P Benincasa - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2022 - World Scientific
Here, we review the most recent progress in our understanding of quantum mechanical
observables in cosmology in the perturbative regime. It relies on an approach that considers …

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 …

The cosmological bootstrap: inflationary correlators from symmetries and singularities

N Arkani-Hamed, D Baumann, H Lee… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract Scattering amplitudes at weak coupling are highly constrained by Lorentz
invariance, locality and unitarity, and depend on model details only through coupling …

From dS to AdS and back

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We describe in more detail the general relation uncovered in our previous work
between boundary correlators in de Sitter (dS) and in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space …

The cosmological bootstrap: weight-shifting operators and scalar seeds

D Baumann, CD Pueyo, A Joyce, H Lee… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract A key insight of the bootstrap approach to cosmological correlations is the fact that
all correlators of slow-roll inflation can be reduced to a unique building block—the four-point …

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 …

Cosmological cutting rules

S Melville, E Pajer - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Primordial perturbations in our universe are believed to have a quantum origin,
and can be described by the wavefunction of the universe (or equivalently, cosmological …

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 …

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 …

Bootstrapping multi-field inflation: non-Gaussianities from light scalars revisited

DG Wang, GL Pimentel… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Primordial non-Gaussianities from multi-field inflation are a leading target for cosmological
observations, because of the possible large correlations generated between long and short …
