Abstract

We compute the Mellin amplitude of the planar four-point correlator of weight-two half-BPS operators in N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM at one and two-loop orders in the small 't Hooft coupling expansion. The two-loop Mellin amplitude has an infinite number of poles, as expected from a stringy bulk dual. We then perform a Mellin conformal block expansion of the amplitude and extract the one-loop anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of the exchanged twist-two singlet multiplets. Our results match those of Dolan and Osborn \cite{Dolan:2004iy} but the computation is rather straightforward in Mellin space.
