We derive a simple relation between the Mellin amplitude for AdS/CFT correlation functions and the bulk S-Matrix in the flat spacetime limit, proving a conjecture of Penedones. As a consequence of the Operator Product Expansion, the Mellin…

We extend the Mellin representation of conformal field theory (CFT) to allow for conformal boundaries and interfaces. We consider the simplest holographic setup dual to an interface CFT - a brane filling an $AdS_{d}$ subspace of $AdS_{d+1}$…

We present a classification of conformally-invariant three-point tensor structures in $d$ dimensions that parallels the classification of three-particle scattering amplitudes in $d+1$ dimensions. Using a set of canonically-normalized…

Assuming the existence of the dS/CFT correspondence, we construct local scalar fields with $m^2>\left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^2$ in de Sitter space by smearing over conformal field theory operators on the future/past boundary. To maintain bulk…

We define Mellin amplitudes for the fermion-scalar four point function and the fermion four point function. The Mellin amplitude thus defined has multiple components each associated with a tensor structure. In the case of three spacetime…

We present a new plane-wave expansion of the Wightman functions of anti de Sitter scalar fields and showcase its conceptual and technical importance in AdS quantum field theory. We deduce from it a new integral representation of the Feynman…

We demonstrate how three-point correlation functions of the free scalar U(N) model involving two scalar operators and one spin-$s$ conserved current organize themselves into corresponding AdS amplitudes involving two scalar and one spin-$s$…

We generalize the color/kinematics duality of flat-space scattering amplitudes to the embedding space formulation of AdS boundary correlators. Kinematic numerators and propagators are replaced with differential operators acting on a scalar…

We define a Mellin amplitude for CFT$_1$ four-point functions. Its analytical properties are inferred from physical requirements on the correlator. We discuss the analytic continuation that is necessary for a fully nonperturbative…

We formulate a renormalisation procedure for IR divergences of tree-level in-in late-time de Sitter correlators. These divergences are due to the infinite volume of spacetime and are analogous to the divergences that appear in AdS dealt…

There are holographic superconformal theories in all dimensions between two and six which allow arbitrary tree-level four-point functions to be fixed by basic consistency conditions. Although Mellin space is usually the most efficient…

We study Carrollian amplitudes of massless scalars in (1+2) Minkowski space. Using the prescription recently shown by Alday et al. [JHEP 03 (2025) 158] originally designed for the AdS4 Witten diagrams, we show that AdS3 Witten diagrams in…
