We study all three-point functions of normalized chiral operators in D=4, $\mathcal{N}=4$, U(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large $N$ limit. We compute them for small 't Hooft coupling $\lambda=g_{YM}^2N<<1$ using free field theory and at strong coupling $\lambda=g_{YM}^2>>1$ using the $AdS$/CFT correspondence. Surprisingly, we find the same answers in the two limits. We conjecture that at least for large $N$ the exact answers are independent of $\lambda $ .

  1. Two-point functions in $4-2\,\varepsilon$ dimensions from localization

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Localization yields all-loop leading-ε results for two-point functions in 4-2ε SYM that agree with flat-space perturbation at O(ε) and motivate a conjecture for the dimension-two operator at O(ε²).

  2. Open-Closed-Open Triality Beyond Matrix Models

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Two open-string descriptions of branes on the resolved conifold are equivalent; integrating out one stack yields an effective potential that reproduces the backreaction and matches giant-graviton actions on the deform...

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Explicit two-loop computations of protected correlators in N=4 SYM yield a universal one-loop term and a planar extrapolation at arbitrary dimension controlled by stress-tensor multiplet count.

  5. Heavy holographic correlators in defect conformal field theories

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Holographic probe-brane calculations produce defect one- and two-point functions of heavy scalars that match OPE and BOE limits.
