In this paper, we derive parametric integral representations for the general n-point function of scalar operators in momentum-space conformal field theory. We show that all graph polynomials for this integral can be expressed using the Laplacian matrix for the simplex. Furthermore, we find an inverse parametrization using the Cayley-Menger matrix, which reveals new families of weight-shifting operators.
We derive parametric integral representations for the general n-point function of scalar operators in momentum-space conformal field theory. Recently, this was shown to be expressible as a generalised Feynman integral with the topology of an (n - 1)-simplex, featuring an arbitrary function of momentum-space cross ratios. Here, we show all graph polynomials for this integral can be expressed in terms of the first and second minors of the Laplacian matrix for the simplex. Computing the effective resistance between nodes of the corresponding electrical network, an inverse parametrisation is found in terms of the determinant and first minors of the Cayley-Menger matrix. These parametrisations reveal new families of weight-shifting operators, expressible as determinants, that connect n-point functions in spacetime dimensions differing by two. Moreover, the action of all previously known weight-shifting operators preserving the spacetime dimension is manifest. Finally, the new parametric representations enable the validity of the conformal Ward identities to be established directly, without recourse to recursion in the number of points.
