Title：

Bootstrapping Banana Loops via Unparticles: from differential equations to kinematic flow

Abstract:

This seminar explains how banana loop correlators in cosmology can be recast as tree-level unparticle exchanges, turning loop computations into bootstrap problems. I will discuss how symmetry, singularity structure, and differential equations fix the two-site banana seed, how shift relations build higher bananas, and how kinematic flow organizes the resulting master-integral systems through graph-theoretic rules. The emphasis is conceptual: banana loops provide a controlled laboratory for extending the cosmological bootstrap beyond tree level.
