Abstract

Celestial amplitudes are multiple Mellin transforms w.r.t. conformal dimensions. For arbitrary multiplicity n of massless states in sufficiently high space–time dimension D we perform all Mellin integrations and find an associahedron description in celestial space. The latter expresses celestial tree–level ϕ3 amplitudes as the canonical forms associated with this positive geometry. This yields a geometric interpretation of celestial amplitudes in terms of the underlying boundary geometry. Our universal treatment of Mellin integrals in D dimensions also provides a unified description of celestial amplitudes arising from different bulk theories.
