## TL;DR

This paper employs conformal field theory techniques to analyze inflationary scalar-vector models, constraining coupling functions and correlator forms based on de Sitter symmetries, with implications for understanding super horizon scale correlations.

## Contribution

It introduces a method to constrain scalar-vector correlators in inflationary models using conformal symmetry, providing a general form and scaling behavior of these correlators.

- Derived the general form of scalar-vector correlators.
- Determined the squeezed limit scaling behavior.

## Abstract

In this paper we use conformal field theory techniques to constrain the form of the correlations functions of an inflationary scalar-vector model described by the interaction term $f_1(\phi)F_{\mu \nu}F^{\mu \nu} + f_2(\phi)\tilde{F}_{\mu \nu}F^{\mu \nu}$. We use the fact that the conformal group is the relevant symmetry group acting on super horizon scales in an inflationary de Sitter background. As a result, we find that super horizon conformal symmetry, constraints the form of the coupling functions $f_1, f_2$ to be homogeneous functions of the same degree. We derive the general form of the correlators involving scalar and vector perturbations in this model and determine its squeezed limit scaling behaviour for super horizon scales. The approach followed here is useful to constraint the shape of scalar-vector correlators, and our results agree with recent literature on the subject, but don't allow us to determine amplitude factors of the correlators.
