Reduced superblocks at next-to-next-to-extremality for all maximally supersymmetric CFTs
Abstract
We consider mixed four-point correlators of 1/2-BPS operators in the maximally supersymmetric CFTs, i.e. the 3d , 4d , and 6d theories. In arXiv:hep-th/0405180, Dolan, Gallot, and Sokatchev demonstrated that four-point correlators of identical in these SCFTs can be expressed in terms of a number of unconstrained one- and two-variable ``reduced correlator" functions acted on by a nd order differential operator , which is non-local in odd dimensions . We generalize this construction to mixed correlators up to extremality . To construct superconformal blocks, we generalize the R-symmetry channel equations and use Jack polynomial expansions to recursively generate the full spectrum of conformal blocks in a superblock from a single channel. We observe that for each , this channel equation can be inverted to expand the reduced correlators in ``reduced superblocks" involving blocks with shifted external kinematics. These reduced blocks reproduce what is known in 4d, generalize the known case in 6d, and offer a novel result in 3d.
