Differential equations and recursive solutions for cosmological amplitudes by Song He, Xuhang Jiang, Jiahao Liu, Qinglin Yang, Yao-Qi Zhang

“…In this note, we revisit the computation of these “cosmological amplitudes” associated with any tree or loop graph for conformal scalars with time-dependent interactions in the power-law FRW universe, directly in terms of iterated time integrals. We start by decomposing any such cosmological amplitude (for loop graph, the “integrand” prior to loop integrations) as a linear combination of basic time integrals, one for each directed graph. …”
