abstract

We study the stress tensor four-point function for $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM with gauge group $G=SU(N)$, $SO(2N+1)$, $SO(2N)$ or $USp(2N)$ at large $N$. When $G=SU(N)$, the theory is dual to type IIB string theory on $AdS_5\times S^5$ with complexified string coupling $\tau_s$, while for the other cases it is dual to the orbifold theory on $AdS_5\times S^5/\mathbb{Z}_2$. In all cases we use the analytic bootstrap and constraints from localization to compute 1-loop and higher derivative tree level corrections to the leading supergravity approximation of the correlator. We give perturbative evidence that the localization constraint in the large $N$ and finite complexified coupling $\tau$ limit can be written for each $G$ in terms of Eisenstein series that are modular invariant in terms of $\tau_s\propto\tau$, which allows us to fix protected terms in the correlator in that limit. In all cases, we find that the flat space limit of the correlator precisely matches the type IIB S-matrix. We also find a closed form expression for the $SU(N)$ 1-loop Mellin amplitude with supergravity vertices. Finally, we compare our analytic predictions at large $N$ and finite $\tau$ to bounds from the numerical bootstrap in the large $N$ regime, and find that they are not saturated for any $G$ and any $\tau$, which suggests that no physical theory saturates these bootstrap bounds.

  1. Extremal couplings, graviton exchange, and gluon scattering in AdS

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Extremal bulk couplings between graviton and gluon modes are computed in F-theory AdS/CFT, yielding the graviton exchange term and a complete 1/N² correlator for the D4 theory.
