Abstract

We explore analytical aspects of correlators involving Dirac spinors in d+1d+1- dimensional de Sitter space. Adapting the formalism of Sleight and Taronna, we show how to relate processes involving fermions in the in-in formalism to equivalent Witten diagrams in (complexified) Euclidean anti-de Sitter space. We exemplify the method for a fermion-exchange diagram. We establish a positive spectral decomposition over the principal series of the Wightman function of two spinors, showing the consequences of unitarity.
