abstract

Many CFT problems, e.g. ones with global symmetries, have correlation functions with a crossing antisymmetric sector. We show that such a crossing antisymmetric function can be expanded in terms of manifestly crossing antisymmetric objects, which we call the '+ type Polyakov blocks'. These blocks are built from AdS$_{d+1}$ Witten diagrams. In 1d they encode the '+ type' analytic functionals which act on crossing antisymmetric functions. In general d we establish this Witten diagram basis from a crossing antisymmetric dispersion relation in Mellin space. Analogous to the crossing symmetric case, the dispersion relation imposes a set of independent 'locality constraints' in addition to the usual CFT sum rules given by the 'Polyakov conditions'. We use the Polyakov blocks to simplify more general analytic functionals in $d > 1$ and global symmetry functionals.

    After subtracting the eikonal carrier, the residual SDR spectrum in six dimensions organizes into a cap-saturated low-impact band, an empty gap, and Regge-like ridges whose weak-coupling edge is the G_N=0 baseline.
