abstract

We initiate an exploration of the conformal bootstrap for $n>4$ point correlation functions. Here we bootstrap correlation functions of the lightest scalar gauge invariant operators in planar non-abelian conformal gauge theories as their locations approach the cusps of a null polygon. For that we consider consistency of the OPE in the so-called snowflake channel with respect to cyclicity transformations which leave the null configuration invariant. For general non-abelian gauge theories this allows us to strongly constrain the OPE structure constants of up to three large spin $J_j$ operators (and large polarization quantum number $l_{j}$) to all loop orders. In $ \mathcal{N}=4$ we fix them completely through the duality to null polygonal Wilson loops and the recent origin limit of the hexagon explored by Basso, Dixon and Papathanasiou.

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A general two-loop formula is obtained for all n-point 10d null polygon correlators in planar N=4 SYM, expressed in a conformal-integral basis and verified numerically at 11 points.

  2. Dissecting supergraviton six-point function with lightcone limits and chiral algebra

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A bootstrap combining lightcone OPEs with chiral algebra and a topological twist determines the six-point supergraviton Mellin amplitude in AdS5 x S5 up to an overall constant, passing a flat-space KLT check.
