Modular invariant gluon-graviton scattering in AdS at one loop
Abstract
We consider mixed gluon-graviton scattering in Type IIB string theory on AdS in the presence of D7 branes, which is dual to a mixed correlator of the and flavor multiplets of a certain 4d gauge theory with complexified coupling . We compute this holographic correlator in the large and finite expansion using constraints from derivatives of the mass deformed sphere free energy, which we compute using supersymmetric localization at large and finite in terms of modular invariant non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. In particular, we combine this constraint with the known flat space limit to fix the higher derivative correction to the correlator in terms of the weight one non-holomorphic Eisenstein series, and also to fix the logarithmic threshold. We also compute the one-loop correction to the correlator, and match it to the expected flat space limit result.
