Abstract

We study non-planar correlators in mathcal{N} = 4 super-Yang-Mills in Mellin space. We focus in the stress tensor four-point correlator to order 1/N4 and in a strong coupling expansion. This can be regarded as the genus-one four-point graviton amplitude of type IIB string theory on AdS5× S5 in a low energy expansion. Both the loop supergravity result as well as the tower of stringy corrections have a remarkable simple structure in Mellin space, making manifest important properties such as the correct flat space limit and the structure of UV divergences.

Highlights

  • Explicit computation to seven loops is still out of reach, and the presence of UV divergences still a matter of debate, the computation of [4] shows that UV divergences are present at five loops for D = 24/5

  • We study non-planar correlators in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills in Mellin space

  • In the present paper we have studied non-planar corrections to the stress-tensor four-point correlator in N = 4 SYM, to order 1/c2 and in a large ’t Hooft coupling expansion. We have studied such correlator in Mellin space, showing that it displays a remarkable simple structure

Summary

Generalities

N = 4 SYM possesses a tower of half-BPS operators Op, with p = 2, 3, · · · , of dimension ∆ = p and transforming in the [0, p, 0] representation of the SU(4) R-symmetry group. Gpshort(U, V, α, α) does not depend on the coupling constant and can be computed following [25]. For this class of correlators superconformal Ward identities fix completely the. The explicit expression for the superconformal blocks in given in appendix A We will study this correlator in a double expansion. Each term around large ’t Hooft coupling λ In this regime the intermediate operators are double trace operators labelled by their spin and n = 0, 1, · · · , with dimension.
