We show that next-to-extremal correlators of chiral primary operators in N=4 SYM theory do not receive quantum corrections to first order in perturbation theory. Furthermore we consider next-to-extremal correlators within AdS supergravity. Here the exchange diagrams contributing to these correlators yield results of the same free-field form as obtained within field theory. This suggests that quantum corrections vanish at strong coupling as well.

This class of correlators has been shown [ref] to be non-renormalised: their expressions are fixed by free-theory results, they do not receive any quantum corrections and all the exchanged operators are protected.
