In this work, we formulate a set of rules for writing down $p$-adic Mellin amplitudes at tree-level. The rules lead to closed-form expressions for Mellin amplitudes for arbitrary scalar bulk diagrams. The prescription is recursive in…

We present a simple general relation between tree-level exchanges in AdS and dS. This relation allows to directly import techniques and results for AdS Witten diagrams, both in position and momentum space, to boundary correlation functions…

We compute the Mellin amplitude of the planar four-point correlator of weight-two half-BPS operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at one and two-loop orders in the small 't Hooft coupling expansion. The two-loop Mellin amplitude has an infinite…
