Abstract

We propose an algorithm to recursively bootstrap nn-point gluon and graviton Mellin-Momentum amplitudes in (A)dS spacetime using only three-point amplitude. We discover that gluon amplitudes are simply determined by factorization for n5n\geq 5. The same principle applies to nn-point graviton amplitudes, but additional constraints such as flat space and soft limits are needed to fix contact terms. Furthermore, we establish a mapping from nn-point Mellin-Momentum amplitudes to nn-point cosmological correlators. We efficiently compute explicit examples up to five points. This leads to the first five-graviton amplitude in AdSd+1AdS_{d+1}.
