Mr Hynek Paul (University of Southampton)

Description

I will describe the problem of constructing perturbative loop corrections to AdS_5 supergravity amplitudes, which are dual to 4pt-correlators in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. By using the consistency of the CFT's operator product expansion and known tree-level supergravity results, we are able to bootstrap loop corrections by imposing a consistent spectrum of exchanged double-trace operators.
