contents Galilean Conformal Algebra (GCA) arises as a controlled nonrelativistic limit of the relativistic conformal algebra. In this paper, we initiate the study of momentum space correlation functions in two-dimensional GCA. We derive and solve momentum space Ward identities to obtain two-point and three-point functions. However, relating them to position space correlation functions presents a challenge as Fourier transforms of the latter do not exist. This is resolved by analytically continuing the boost eigenvalues to imaginary values. In this regime, the Fourier transform of the position space two-point and three-point functions exist and match exactly with the momentum space two-point and three-point function obtained by solving the Ward identities.
