Abstract

We continue our study of multipoint correlators of scalar fields on the 1d defect CFT generated by inserting operators along the Maldacena-Wilson line in mathcal{N} = 4 SYM. We present a weak-coupling recursion relation that captures correlators at next-to-leading order involving an arbitrary number of the elementary scalar fields ϕi and ϕ6, the latter being unprotected. We can then build correlators of composite operators by pinching the scalar fields together. As a demonstration of our method, we give explicit results for correlators containing up to six points. We also expand some selected correlators using recently obtained conformal blocks in the comb and snowflake channel, and check that the extracted low-lying CFT data is consistent with explicit computations.
