Original abstract

We develop a new approach to cosmological correlators, built on a simple physical fact: deep inside the Hubble radius every mode oscillates as a flat-space plane wave, the curvature of spacetime making itself felt only as the mode is stretched towards the horizon. A Laplace transform turns this observation into a computational tool, resolving each curved-space mode function into a continuous superposition of plane waves labelled by a dual variable and dressed by a kernel that encodes the spacetime geometry, field content and dynamics. Every time integral then reduces to an elementary flat-space one, yielding simple diagrammatic rules for cosmological correlators. We illustrate the construction on the massive single-exchange correlator. The Laplace representation makes its total- and partial-energy singularities transparent ''from flat space'', and yields a single closed-form, rapidly convergent series valid throughout the entire kinematic domain. Although developed for conformally coupled fields exchanging massive scalars in de Sitter, the approach carries over essentially unchanged to virtually all situations of interest in primordial cosmology.
