Abstract

In this note, we derive a Mellin space version of the Lorentzian inversion formula for CFTs by explicitly integrating over the cross-ratios in d=2d=2 and d=4d=4 spacetime dimensions. We use the simplicity of the Mellin representation of Witten diagrams and the double discontinuity to find the OPE coefficients and anomalous dimensions of double-trace primaries in large NN CFTs to order 1N4\frac{1}{N^4}. We find that our results match analytically at order 1N2\frac{1}{N^2}, and numerically at order 1N4\frac{1}{N^4} with existing literature.
