Abstract
We study the correlation functions of a conformally coupled -interacting theory in AdS and its dual CFT. The one-loop diagram is not expressible in terms of known transcendental functions, but is shown to be expressible as an infinite sum of previously well-studied tree-level diagrams, and we compute this sum using several number-theoretic conjectures. This enables us to extract recursively, the analytic expressions of anomalous dimensions of all dual double-trace operators. In the -channel various consistency checks were performed against established bootstrap method, while our results in the - and -channel are not available in any previous literature to our knowledge.
