Abstract

We consider the large spin limit S→∞ of the OPE coefficient for two maximal giant gravitons and a spinning operator with finite twist in planar 𝒩=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. Up to an overall normalization factor, this OPE coefficient exhibits a power-law scaling of the form Sd(g). We provide strong evidence that the exponent d(g) is free from finite size corrections. Consequently, the all-loop asymptotic expression for the OPE coefficient can be used to determine d(g) exactly. We compute a conjectural expression for the scaling function d(g) for arbitrary values of the ’t Hooft coupling g. At weak coupling, our result agrees perfectly with the available field-theoretic results up to three-loop order. At strong coupling, we present the first three orders as concrete predictions. We further provide the finite-coupling result and show that it interpolates smoothly between the weak- and strong-coupling regimes.
