We consider mixed four-point correlators of 1/2-BPS operators $\phi_{k}$ in SCFTs with eight real Poincar\'e supercharges, namely the 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$, 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$, 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$, and 6d $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ theories. Using the…

An explicit analytic formula is presented that computes the conformal (super-)block decomposition of any free scalar or half-BPS diagram in 1d, 2d or 4d CFTs, with various supersymmetries, including none. We prove our formula by exploiting…

The weak gravity conjecture has been invoked to conjecture that the dimensions of charged operators in a CFT should obey a superadditivity relation (sometimes referred to as convexity). In this paper, we study superadditivity of the…

We study a set of CFT operators suitable for reconstructing a charged bulk scalar field $\phi$ in AdS${}_3$ (dual to an operator ${\cal O}$ of dimension $\Delta$ in the CFT) in the presence of a conserved spin-$n$ current in the CFT. One…

Two and three-point functions of primary fields in four dimensional CFT have a simple space-time dependences factored out from the combinatoric structure which enumerates the fields and gives their couplings. This has led to the formulation…

In this work, we study the $\frac{1}{8}$-BPS heavy-heavy-light-light correlators in the D1D5 CFT and its holographic dual. On the field theory side, we compute the fermionic four-point correlators at the free orbifold point. On the dual…
