Abstract

We determine the first curvature correction for the string amplitude of two supergravity states and two Kaluza-Klein modes on AdS5×S5\text{AdS}_5 \times \text{S}^5, which is dual to the correlator O2O2OpOp\langle \mathcal{O}_2 \mathcal{O}_2 \mathcal{O}_p \mathcal{O}_p \rangle of half-BPS operators in N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM theory. The result has the form of an integral over the Riemann sphere as for the usual Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude, with the insertion of single-valued multiple polylogarithms of weight three. The result fixes OPE data of single-trace operators in N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM theory at strong coupling, including operators with non-zero RR-charge and odd spin. We successfully check our results by comparing to data available from integrability, localisation and consistency with a 10d10d effective action.
