In particular we give explicit expressions up to $\\mathcal{O}(1/N^4)$ for the lightest correlator with two double-particle and two single-particle operators built out of the stress-tensor multiplet. Our derivation makes use of the general holographic prescription applied to an asymptotically AdS$_5\\times$S$^5$ geometry that describes a coherent superposition of multi-graviton operators. The final result can be written in terms of a natural generalisation of the standard D-functions and takes a compact form in Mellin space. The correlator we compute here is the simplest of a more general class of correlators where two inserted operators are multi-particles. These can be derived with the same approach, suggesting that the structure found here is general.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-19T17:03:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bps bound states", "holographic correlators", "single-particle operators built", "general holographic prescription", "coherent superposition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
