Analytical evaluation of AdS${}_4$ Witten diagrams as flat space multi-loop Feynman integrals

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-08-24 v2

Abstract

We describe a systematic approach for the evaluation of Witten diagrams for multi-loop scattering amplitudes of a conformally coupled scalar ϕ4\phi^4-theory in Euclidean AdS4_4, by recasting the Witten diagrams as flat space Feynman integrals. We derive closed form expressions for the anomalous dimensions for all double-trace operators up to the second order in the coupling constant. We explain the relation between the flat space unitarity methods and the discontinuities of the short distance expansion on the boundary of Witten diagrams.
