In particular, all power-singular terms in the 4-point functions exactly coincide with the contributions coming from the conformal blocks of the CPOs, the R-symmetry current and the stress tensor. Operators dual to string modes decouple at strong coupling. We compute the anomalous dimensions and the leading $1/N^2$ corrections to the normalization constants of the 2- and 3-point functions of scalar and vector double-trace operators with approximate dimensions 4 and 5 respectively. We also find that the conformal dimensions of certain towers of double-trace operators in the {\\bf 105}, {\\bf 84} and {\\bf 175} irreps are non-renormalized. We show that, despite the absence of a non-renormalization theorem for the double-trace operator in the {\\bf 20} irrep, its anomalous dimension vanishes. As by-products of our investigation, we derive explicit expressions for the conformal block of the stress tensor, and for the conformal partial wave amplitudes of a conserved current and of a stress tensor in $d$ dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-05-08T17:16:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "operator product expansion", "lowest weight cpos", "strong coupling", "double-trace operator", "stress tensor" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
