We find generating functions for half BPS correlators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theories with gauge groups $Sp(2N)$, $SO(2N+1)$, and $SO(2N)$ by computing the norms of a class of BPS coherent states. These coherent states are built from…

We explain how the 't Hooft expansion of correlators of half-BPS operators can be resummed in a large-charge limit in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The full correlator in the limit is given by a non-trivial function of two variables: One…

We examine the double-trace spectrum of $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory in the supergravity limit. At large $N$ double-trace operators exhibit degeneracy. By considering free-field and tree-level supergravity contributions to…
