Lorentzian OPE Inversion Formula: A Geometric Perspective

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-01-09 v1

Abstract

We give a new perspective on the Lorentzian OPE inversion formula of arXiv:1703.00278, building on arXiv:2302.06469. We introduce an ``auxiliary'' fourpoint function that can be related to the traditionally defined ones via a Radon transform. The Mellin amplitudes associated with this auxiliary function can be shown to be equivalent to the conventional partial wave amplitudes. This has the intuitive geometrical meaning of a generalization of the Projection-Slice Theorem.
