AdS$_3$ four-point functions from $\frac{1}{8}$-BPS states
Abstract
We compute four-point functions in the Heavy-Heavy-Light-Light limit involving all possible -BPS heavy states whose dual supergravity solutions are explicitly known, avoiding the use of Witten diagrams. This is achieved by using the AdS/CFT dictionary of type IIB supergravity on AdS that maps supersymmetric heavy operators whose conformal dimension is the order of the central charge to explicit asymptotically AdS supergravity solutions. Using the Ward Identities for the generators of the superconformal Kac-Moody algebra, we can relate all of these four-point functions to each other and to other known four-point functions involving -BPS heavy states, furnishing non-trivial checks of the computations. Finally, the Ward Identities can be employed to reconstruct the all-light four-point functions, providing the first holographic correlators of single-trace operators computed in AdS involving -BPS operators.
