abstract

Cosmological correlators encode invaluable information about the wavefunction of the primordial universe. In this letter we present a duality between correlators and wavefunction coefficients that is valid to all orders in the loop expansion and manifests itself as a $\mathbb{Z}_4$ symmetry. To demonstrate the power of the duality, we derive a correlator-to-correlator factorisation (CCF) formula for the parity-odd part of cosmological correlators that relates $n$-point observables to lower-point ones via a series of diagrammatic cuts. These relations serve as the first example of physically testable cutting rules as they involve observables defined for arbitrary physical kinematics. We further show how the duality allows us to translate the cosmological optical theorem for wavefunction coefficients into statements about cosmological correlators.

  1. The Exact and Approximate Tales of Boost-Breaking Cosmological Correlators

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The tree-level boost-breaking cosmological collider seed correlator is computed exactly for general sound speed and chemical potential, and saddle-point methods turn it into practical elementary-function templates.

  2. Bootstrapping the Cosmological Collider with Resonant Features

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Oscillatory couplings with frequency above the heavy field mass remove the Boltzmann suppression of cosmological collider signals and produce new scale-dependent bispectrum shapes, with axion monodromy as a concrete r...

  3. From Cosmological Cuts to Yang--Mills Wavefunctions in de Sitter Space

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.5 of 10

    Tree-level Yang-Mills de Sitter wavefunctions through six points are reconstructed from cosmological cuts into cut-detectable gluings plus a current-conservation completion, matching Feynman rules and suggesting an al...

    astro-ph.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DESI's first parity-violation search shows a strong auto-correlation signal that disappears when the sky is split into patches, pointing to underestimated mocks' variance rather than new physics.

  5. Efficient training of photonic quantum generative models

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Photonic quantum generative models can be trained classically via maximum mean discrepancy, with deployment corresponding to boson sampling.
