Late-time electric screening in dS from EAdS loops

Ernesto Bianchi, Sacha Ployet, Charlotte Sleight +1

We compute the one-loop gauge-field two-point functions analytically in scalar QED on dS for general dimension and scalar mass, using the EAdS reformulation of the in-in fo…

Celestial Mellin Amplitudes II: Spin-1 and Spin-2 Exchange, and Beyond

Sébastien Malherbe, Paolo Pergola, Charlotte Sleight +1

We further develop celestial Mellin amplitudes arXiv:2412.11992 to capture the exchange of particles with spin. For massless external scalar fields, we derive closed-form celestial…

(Non-)Conserved Currents and Cosmological Correlators

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We study the fate of global symmetries at the late-time boundary of de Sitter space. In anti-de Sitter space, bulk gauge symmetries generally correspond to conserved global current…

Cosmological Correlators in Gauge Theory and Gravity from EAdS

Md. Abhishek, Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

In this work we examine in more detail the map between late-time correlators in de Sitter space and boundary correlators in Euclidean anti-de Sitter space, elaborating on the gener…

Conformal Partial Wave Expansion of Celestial Correlators

Francesca Pacifico, Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

A novel definition of holographic correlation functions on the celestial sphere of Minkowski space was recently introduced in arXiv:2301.01810 as the extrapolation of bulk time-ord…

Cosmological Correlators for Bogoliubov Initial States

Alistair J. Chopping, Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We consider late-time correlators in de Sitter (dS) space for initial states related to the Bunch-Davies vacuum by a Bogoliubov transformation. We propose to study such late-time c…

Celestial Holography Revisited II: Correlators and Källén-Lehmann

Lorenzo Iacobacci, Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

In this work we continue the investigation of the extrapolate dictionary for celestial holography recently proposed in [2301.01810], at both the perturbative and non-perturbative l…

Celestial Holography Revisited

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We revisit the prescription commonly used to define holographic correlators on the celestial sphere of Minkowski space as an integral transform of flat space scattering amplitudes,…

From AdS to dS Exchanges: Spectral Representation, Mellin Amplitudes and Crossing

Charlotte Sleight, Massimo Taronna

We present a simple general relation between tree-level exchanges in AdS and dS. This relation allows to directly import techniques and results for AdS Witten diagrams, both in pos…
