abstract

We consider correlation functions in 6d $(2,0)$ theories of two $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS operators inserted away from a $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS surface defect. In the large central charge limit the leading connected contribution corresponds to sums of tree-level Witten diagram in AdS$_7\times$S$^4$ in the presence of an AdS$_3$ defect. We show that these correlators can be uniquely determined by imposing only superconformal symmetry and consistency conditions, eschewing the details of the complicated effective Lagrangian. We explicitly compute all such two-point functions. The result exhibits remarkable hidden simplicity.

  1. 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.

  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.

  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. 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.
