Conjectures for large \(\mathcal N=4\) superconformal chiral primary four point functions (Q879879): Difference between revisions

An expression for the four point function for \(\tfrac12\)-BPS operators belonging to the \([0,p,0]\) \(\text{SU}(4)\) representation in \(\mathcal N=4\) superconformal theories at strong coupling in the large \(N\) limit is suggested for any \(p\). It is expressed in terms of the four point integrals defined by integration over \(\text{AdS}_5\) and agrees with, and was motivated by, results for \(p=2,3,4\) obtained via the AdS/CFT correspondence. It is assumed all long multiplets gain an anomalous dimension in the large \(N\) limit to leading order in \(1/N^2\). Using crossing symmetry and unitarity, the detailed form is then dictated by the requirement that at large N the contribution of long multiplets with twist less than \(2p\), and which, if present in the operator product expansion for two \([0,p,0]\) \(\tfrac12\)-BPS operators would not have anomalous dimensions, should be absent. This requires a non-trivial cancellation with corresponding free field contributions.
