Late-time Structure of the Bunch-Davies De Sitter Wavefunction
read the original abstract
We examine the late time behavior of the Bunch-Davies wavefunction for interacting light fields in a de Sitter background. We use perturbative techniques developed in the framework of AdS/CFT, and analytically continue to compute tree and loop level contributions to the Bunch-Davies wavefunction. We consider self-interacting scalars of general mass, but focus especially on the massless and conformally coupled cases. We show that certain contributions grow logarithmically in conformal time both at tree and loop level. We also consider gauge fields and gravitons. The four-dimensional Fefferman-Graham expansion of classical asymptotically de Sitter solutions is used to show that the wavefunction contains no logarithmic growth in the pure graviton sector at tree level. Finally, assuming a holographic relation between the wavefunction and the partition function of a conformal field theory, we interpret the logarithmic growths in the language of conformal field theory.

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

Correlators are simpler than wavefunctions
Equal-time correlators are simpler than wavefunctions because full-spacetime integration of propagators eliminates certain poles and yields a vanishing first subleading term in every Laurent expansion around poles.
