Split representation in celestial holography

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-11-16 v1

Abstract

We develop a split representation for celestial amplitudes in celestial holography, by cutting internal lines of Feynman diagrams in Minkowski space. More explicitly, the bulk-to-bulk propagators associated with the internal lines are expressed as a product of two boundary-to-bulk propagators with a coinciding boundary point integrated over the celestial sphere. Applying this split representation, we compute the conformal partial wave and conformal block expansions of celestial four-point functions of massless scalars and photons on the Euclidean celestial sphere. In the tt-channel massless scalar amplitude, we observe novel intermediate exchanges of staggered modules in the conformal block expansion.
