We investigate the structure of the constraints on three-point correlation functions emerging when conformal invariance is imposed in momentum space and in arbitrary space-time dimensions, presenting a derivation of their solutions for arbitrary scalar operators. We show that the differential equations generated by the requirement of symmetry under special conformal transformations coincide with those satisfied by generalized hyper-geometric functions (Appell's functions). Combined with the position space expression of this correlator, whose Fourier transform is given by a family of generalized Feynman (master) integrals, the method allows to derive the expression of such integrals in a completely independent way, bypassing the use of Mellin-Barnes techniques, which have been used in the past. The application of the special conformal constraints generates a new recursion relation for this family of integrals.
