abstract

We study multipoint correlators of protected scalars on the Maldacena-Wilson line in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. Working at weak coupling in the planar limit, we derive an explicit recursion relation that captures next-to-leading order correlators with an arbitrary number of insertions of the fundamental scalar field. By pinching fundamental scalars together, we can build composite protected operators with higher values of the R-charge. Our result then encompasses arbitrary $n$-point correlators of protected operators with arbitrary weight. As a demonstration of our method, we give explicit formulae for correlators with up to six points. Using these results we observe that all our correlators are annihilated by a special class of differential operators. We conjecture that these differential operators are non-perturbative constraints and can be considered a multipoint extension of the superconformal Ward identities satisfied by four-point functions.
