Description
Exploiting the analytic properties of the scattering amplitude, we provide an alternative but equivalent definition of the standard Mellin transform used to obtain celestial correlation functions. From this representation, we identify a celestial dispersion relation that relates the reduced correlation function to the poles and discontinuities of the bulk amplitude. By drawing an analogy with the standard CFT case, we define the celestial Regge limit and identify the relevant celestial CFT data in terms of the partial amplitudes governing the bulk Regge limit.
