$\mathcal{N}=2$ Universality at Strong Coupling
Abstract
We present a detailed analysis of integrated correlators for an superconformal field theory on a squashed sphere with SU gauge group and fundamental/anti-symmetric matter. Employing the matrix model arising from supersymmetric localisation, we compute derivatives of the partition function with respect to the fundamental mass (), the anti-symmetric mass () and the squashing parameter (), corresponding to integrated insertions of the flavour-current and stress-tensor multiplets, which are holographically dual to gluon and graviton scatterings in the presence of D7-branes. For correlators dual to only graviton scatterings, we confirm the planar-limit equivalence with SYM. Our main result is a remarkable universality for the mixed gluon-graviton scattering amplitudes off D7-branes, obtained from and . We show that the leading and sub-leading large- contributions in the strong-coupling regime are governed by universal asymptotic series, identical to those found for integrated giant-graviton correlators in SYM. We also propose an -invariant completion of these results in terms of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. This completion provides exact constraints on higher-derivative terms in the dual brane-string amplitudes and highlights an unexpected universality across distinct superconformal theories at strong coupling.
