We propose a holographic description of four-dimensional single-scalar inflationary universes, and show how cosmological observables, such as the primordial power spectrum, are encoded in the correlation functions of a three-dimensional…
Causal holographic information [1] is a variant of the Ryu-Takayanagi proposal for the entanglement entropy of a spatial region in the context of AdS/CFT, but with the bulk surface defined by causality rather than extremality. We…
Recently, scattering amplitudes in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime have been interpreted as conformal correlation functions on the two-dimensional celestial sphere, the so-called celestial amplitudes. In this note we consider…
We investigate the celestial description of an eikonal amplitude for the scattering of massless scalars mediated by soft gravitons in the near-horizon region of a large eternal Schwarzschild black hole. Our construction thus provides a…
The CHY representation of scattering amplitudes is based on integrals over the moduli space of a punctured sphere. We replace the punctured sphere by a double-cover version. The resulting scattering equations depend on a parameter $\Lambda$…
We examine the generation and evolution of perturbations in a universe dominated by a fluid with stiff equation of state $p=\rho$. The recently proposed Holographic Universe is an example of such a model. We compute the spectrum of scalar…
The Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formula was originally proposed to describe on-shell scattering of particles from a single massless field. We present a method to modify it to include several interacting scalar fields, all possessing different…
Carrollian holography is supposed to describe gravity in four-dimensional asymptotically flat space-time by the three-dimensional Carrollian CFT living at null infinity. We transform superstring scattering amplitudes into the correlation…
Celestial holography provides a promising avenue to studying bulk scattering in flat spacetime from the perspective of boundary celestial conformal field theory (CCFT). A key ingredient in connecting the two sides is the celestial…
We introduce a formalism for describing four-dimensional scattering amplitudes for particles of any mass and spin. This naturally extends the familiar spinor-helicity formalism for massless particles to one where these variables carry an…
We present a new version of holographic cosmology, which is compatible with present observations. A primordial $p=\rho$ phase of the universe is followed by a brief matter dominated era and a brief period of inflation, whose termination…
Many low energy hadrons, such as the rho, can be observed as resonances in scattering experiments. A proposal by L\"uscher enables one to determine infinite volume elastic scattering phases from the two-particle energy spectrum measured…
Celestial holography expresses $\mathcal{S}$-matrix elements as correlators in a CFT living on the night sky. Poincar\'e invariance imposes additional selection rules on the allowed positions of operators. As a consequence, $n$-point…
It is well known that direct observation of interference and diffraction pattern in the intensity distribution requires a spatially coherent source. Optical waves emitted from portions beyond the coherence area possess statistically…
Both celestial and momentum space amplitudes in four dimensions are beset by divergences resulting from spacetime translation and sometimes scale invariance. In this paper we consider a (linearized) marginal deformation of the celestial CFT…
Motivated by the limited interaction between the mathematical physics community and theoretical physicists - particularly in high-energy theory - we present a computation that is typically the first example in QFT courses but, to our…
The integrations leading to the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) double-color $n$-point massless scalar amplitude are carried out one integral at a time. M\"obius invariance dictates the final amplitude to be independent of the three M\"obius…
By employing the ${\rm AdS}_3/{\rm CFT}_2$ correspondence in this note we observe an analogy between the structures found in connection with the Arkani-Hamed-Bai-He-Yan (ABHY) associahedron used for understanding scattering amplitudes, and…
Scattering amplitudes are tempered distributions, which are defined through their action on functions in the Schwartz space $S(\mathbb{R})$ by duality. For massless particles, their conformal properties become manifest when considering…
