abstract
We derive a cutting rule for equal-time in-in correlators including cosmological correlators based on Keldysh $r/a$ basis, which decomposes diagrams into fully retarded functions and cut-propagators consisting of Wightman functions. Our derivation relies only on basic assumptions such as unitarity, locality, and the causal structure of the in-in formalism, and therefore holds for theories with arbitrary particle contents and local interactions at any loop order. As an application, we show that non-local cosmological collider signals arise solely from cut-propagators under the assumption of microcausality. Since the cut-propagators do not contain (anti-)time-ordering theta functions, the conformal time integrals are factorized, simplifying practical calculations.

Propagator positivity bounds for cosmological correlators
An infinite tower of two-sided positivity bounds constrains the EFT coefficients of heavy fields on de Sitter, ruling out correlators with no unitary/causal UV completion.

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

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

EFT Perspective On de-Sitter S-Matrix
In a carefully chosen limit, the de Sitter scattering amplitude is written as an integral transform of the flat-space amplitude, and requiring energy conservation on exceptional de Sitter scalars reproduces DBI and Sp...
