Correlators from graphical amplitudes
Recently, the wavefunction coefficients for conformally coupled scalars in an Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology have been presented as a sum over amplitudelike functions known as . In this work, we extend this analysis to full . Remarkably, the amplitube expansion of the correlator exhibits many vanishing contributions that are otherwise present in the expansion of the wavefunction. Moreover, while the wavefunction coefficients suffer from relative minus signs between terms, the surviving terms in thte correlation function do not. These observations point to a hidden simplicity in the structure of the correlation function compared to that of the wavefunction coefficient.
