Caron-Huot has recently given an interesting formula that determines OPE data in a conformal field theory in terms of a weighted integral of the four-point function over a Lorentzian region of cross-ratio space. We give a new derivation of this formula based on Wick rotation in spacetime rather than cross-ratio space. The derivation is simple in two dimensions but more involved in higher dimensions. We also derive a Lorentzian inversion formula in one dimension that sheds light on previous observations about the chaos regime in the SYK model.

Kontorovich-Lebedev-Fourier Space for de Sitter Correlators
A Kontorovich-Lebedev-Fourier space is built for (d+1)-dimensional de Sitter correlators from the Casimir operator of SO(1,d+1), producing rational propagators and Feynman rules that turn tree and loop diagrams into s...
