We show that the evolution of interacting massive particles in the de Sitter bulk can be understood at leading order as a series of resonant decay and production events. From this perspective, we classify the cosmological collider signals into local and nonlocal categories with drastically different physical origins. This further allows us to derive a cutting rule for efficiently extracting these cosmological collider signals in an analytical fashion. Our cutting rule is a practical way for extracting cosmological collider signals in model building, and can be readily implemented as symbolic computational packages in the future.

  1. Dissecting the Scalar Cosmological Collider with the Cosmic Microwave Background

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A joint Bayesian fit of the multi-field inflationary Lagrangian to Planck bispectrum data finds no cosmological collider signal (max Δχ²=5.3) and shows weak-mixing template searches are invalid except at the smallest masses.

  2. All Tree-Level Massive Cosmological Correlators via Spectral Gluing

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Tree-level massive de Sitter correlators are constructed by gluing Lauricella-type vertex functions according to graph combinatorics, and the hypergeometric content collapses to rational functions once the dynamical p...

  3. Propagator positivity bounds for cosmological correlators

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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...

    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...
