AI 中文摘要
我们考虑将连接 Tr$(\phi^3)$ 与 pion 振幅的 $\delta$-位移扩展到宇宙学中的可观测量。我们从平直空间出发,解释如何通过简单的运动学变形,从 Tr$(\phi^3)$ 理论的波函数和相关子中提取 pion 波函数和相关子。与振幅不同,波函数的 $\delta$-位移不再是运动学上的线性变形,因为波函数依赖于动量的大小而非动量的平方。我们通过使用频率表示来“线性化”这一变形——从而允许我们将任何图的贡献重写为留数之和。然后我们展示这一构造如何扩展到 de Sitter 时空,并发现,值得注意的是,在频率表示中,pion 的 de Sitter 波函数和相关子可以以与平直空间中完全相同的方式表述。除此之外,这一统一表述揭示了一个简单的普适软极限,适用于平直空间和 de Sitter 时空,其中在软极限下,波函数变成 pion 和标量混合理论中波函数之和。
英文摘要
We consider the extension of the $δ$-shift connecting Tr$(ϕ^3)$ and pion amplitudes to observables in cosmology. We start in flat-space and explain how one can extract the pion wavefunction and correlators from those of Tr$(ϕ^3)$ theory, via a simple kinematic deformation. As opposed to the amplitude, the $δ$-shift for the wavefunction is no longer a linear deformation on the kinematics since the wavefunction depends on magnitudes rather than the squares of momenta. We "linearize" this deformation by using the frequency representation - allowing us to recast the contribution from any graph as a sum over residues. We then show how this construction extends to de Sitter, and find that, remarkably, in the frequency representation, the pion de Sitter wavefunction and correlators can be formulated in precisely the same way as in flat-space. Amongst other things, this unified formulation reveals a simple universal soft-limit for flat-space and de Sitter, where, in the soft-limit, the wavefunction turns into a sum of wavefunctions in a mixed theory of pions and scalars.
