Late-time correlation functions in dS3/CFT2 correspondence

Abstract

Abstract We compute the late-time correlation functions on three-dimensional de Sitter spacetime for a higher-spin gravity theory. For this, we elaborate on the formulation to obtain the wave functional of universe from a dual conformal field theory, which is used to compute the late-time correlation functions. We argue that the relation to direct bulk Feynman diagram computations in the in-in formulation. We furthermore provide a precise prescription to construct a higher-spin dS3 holography as an analytic continuation of Gaberdiel-Gopakumar duality for AdS3. Part of results here were already reported in an earlier letter. We explain the details of their derivations and extend the analysis to more generic cases in this paper. Previously, we have examined two- and three-point functions and a simple four-point correlator at the leading order in Newton constant. Here we also evaluate more complicated four-point correlators. Finally, we study late-time correlators in an alternative limit of dS3/CFT2 with critical level coset, such as, two-point correlator on conical defect geometry. We also examine one-loop corrections to two-point correlator on dS3.
