Abstract
We express the scalar four-point function of minimal Vasiliev higher-spin gravity in de Sitter space as an integral over the orthogonal Grassmannian OGr(4,8). The full crossing-symmetric Vasiliev Grassmannian correlator is given by , where , , are the Grassmannian Mandelstam variables. Remarkably, this has the same form as the field-theory limit of the Veneziano amplitude, despite arising from the opposite, tensionless limit of an infinite massless higher-spin tower. We verify the formula by evaluating the Grassmannian contour integral and matching it to the momentum-space result, and analyze its singularities and residues directly in Grassmannian space.
