Abstract

We study the four-point function of the superconformal primary of the stress-tensor multiplet in four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, at strong coupling and in a large-N expansion. This observable is holographically dual to a four-graviton amplitude in type IIB supergravity on AdS5×S5. We construct the maximal transcendental weight piece of the correlator at order N−6 and compare it with the flat-space limit of the corresponding two-loop amplitude. This allows us to conjecture structures of the correlator/amplitude which should be present at any loop order.

  14. We consider as the highest transcendental those harmonic polylogarithms with the maximal transcendental weight in the usual sense, disregarding constants, which either have vanishing discontinuity or trivially come from analytic continuation of other functions.

  30. It will also be clearer later from the possible dispersion relation that this has to be the case, since this diagram does not allow a double s-channel cut.
