Abstract

We develop a recursive algorithm for the investigation of infinite sequences of quasi-primary fields obtained from chiral primary operators (CPOs) OkI(x)O^I_k(x) and eventually their derivatives by applying operator product expansions and singling out SO(6) representations. We show that normal products of O2O_2 operators can be expressed in terms of projection operators on representations of SO(20) and discuss intertwining operators for SO(6) representations. Furthermore we derive O(1N2)\mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{N^2}) corrections to AdS/CFT 4-point functions by graphical combinatorics and finally extract anomalous dimensions by applying the method of conformal partial wave analysis. We find infinite sequences of quasi-primary fields with vanishing anomalous dimensions and interpret them as 1/2-BPS or 1/4-BPS fields.
