abstract
We present a general relation between celestial correlation functions in $d$-dimensions and Witten diagrams in $\left(d+1\right)$-dimensional Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space, to all orders in perturbation theory. Contact diagram processes are proportional to contact Witten diagrams, and particle exchanges can be recast as a continuum of particle exchanges in EAdS where the exchanged particles carrying unitary Principal Series representations of $SO\left(d+1,1\right)$. One can then try to import familiar EAdS techniques to study the properties of celestial correlators. In this work we use this relation to infer the analytic structure of the spectral density in the conformal partial wave expansion of celestial correlators which, at least perturbatively, should be a meromorphic function of the spectral parameter. We also discuss non-perturbative constraints from unitarity in Euclidean Conformal Field Theory, which requires positivity of the spectral density. This extends similar relations recently uncovered between boundary correlation functions in de Sitter space and Witten diagrams in EAdS, suggesting that EAdS could play a central role in efforts towards holography for all lambdas.

Conformal blocks from celestial graviton amplitudes
The authors construct a single-valued celestial four-graviton correlator from the shadow transform, decompose it into conformal blocks in all channels, and show it is the double copy of the corresponding gluon object.

Celestial Mellin Amplitudes
Celestial correlators in Minkowski space admit a Mellin representation whose amplitudes are meromorphic, with polynomial contacts, double-trace-like exchange poles, and loop diagrams proportional to tree-level exchange.

Flat limit of AdS/CFT from AdS geodesics: scattering amplitudes and antipodal matching of Li\'enard-Wiechert fields
Flat-space S-matrix elements and Liénard-Wiechert antipodal matching are shown to arise from AdS geodesics that hit the AdS conformal boundary at specific global times.

Celestial decomposition of Wigner's particles
Wigner particles decompose uniquely into Lorentz principal-series representations, with explicit translation kernels showing that unitary translations stay within the principal series.
