An étude of momentum space scalar amplitudes in AdS

Abstract: In this paper, we explore momentum space approach to computing scalar amplitudes in Anti-de Sitter space. We show that the algorithm derived by Arkani-Hamed, Benincasa, and Postnikov for cosmological wavefunctions can be straightforwardly adopted for AdS transition amplitudes in momentum space, allowing one to bypass bulk point integrations. We demonstrate the utility of this approach in AdS by presenting several explicit results both at tree and loop level.
