The double-trace spectrum of N=4 SYM at strong coupling
read the original abstract
The spectrum of IIB supergravity on AdS${}_5 \times S^5$ contains a number of bound states described by long double-trace multiplets in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory at large 't Hooft coupling. At large $N$ these states are degenerate and to obtain their anomalous dimensions as expansions in $\tfrac{1}{N^2}$ one has to solve a mixing problem. We conjecture a formula for the leading anomalous dimensions of all long double-trace operators which exhibits a large residual degeneracy whose structure we describe. Our formula can be related to conformal Casimir operators which arise in the structure of leading discontinuities of supergravity loop corrections to four-point correlators of half-BPS operators.

$20'$ Five-Point Function of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM and Stringy Corrections
Bootstrap on Mellin amplitudes computes the first stringy correction to the five-point 20' correlator in N=4 SYM up to one undetermined coefficient, with flat-space limit checks and byproduct four-point results.

A Holographic Constraint on Scale Separation
A holographic consistency condition derived from large-N factorization requires vanishing cubic couplings for extremal-dimension operators and is non-trivially satisfied in DGKT AdS4 string vacua.
