abstract

We consider correlation functions of two maximal giant gravitons and two light $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS operators in 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. Viewed as two-point correlators in the presence of a zero dimensional defect, they can be completely fixed at strong coupling using analytic bootstrap techniques. We determine all infinitely such correlators for arbitrary light $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS operators and find that the result can be repackaged into a simple generating function thanks to a hidden higher dimensional symmetry. We also find evidence that the same symmetry holds at weak coupling for loop correction integrands.

  1. A universal scaling function for giant graviton OPE coefficients

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In planar N=4 SYM, the large-spin OPE coefficient for two maximal giant gravitons and a twist-two operator scales as S^{d(g)}, with d(g) computed at arbitrary coupling.

  2. Notes on flat-space limit of holographic defect correlators in position space

    hep-th 2025-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A position-space flat-space limit formula for holographic defect two-point functions is derived, proven equivalent to the Mellin-space conjecture, and checked against Wilson loops, surface defects, and giant gravitons.

  3. Quantum Gravity Corrections to Giant Graviton Correlators

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop AdS supergravity correction to maximal giant graviton–supergraviton correlators is reconstructed in closed Mellin and position form via defect unitarity, including leading-twist anomalous dimensions.

  4. Energy-Energy Correlators at Strong Coupling

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The strong-coupling EEC in planar N=4 SYM is now known through λ⁻² for p=2 and through λ⁻³ᐟ² for all half-BPS operators O_p, derived independently from worldsheet and low-energy Wilson-coefficient methods.

  5. Chiral algebra correlators of the $6$d, $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory with a defect

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A chiral-algebra bootstrap reproduces the defect two-point correlators of the 6d (2,0) theory using only bulk-channel data and predicts new defect-channel OPE coefficients.
