    Abstract

    摘要

    We will discuss correlation functions of operators in the stress tensor multiplet of N=4 super Yang-Mills, which are dual to type IIB superstring amplitudes on AdS_5 x S^5. The 1/N expansion of the correlators are mapped to the \alpha' expansion of string amplitudes due to AdS/CFT duality. We will focus on the first few orders beyond the supergravity limit, they correspond to contact interactions of the same orders as R^4, d^4R^4 and d^6R^4. To study the SL(2, Z) modular symmetry of the theories, we will study the correlators and string amplitudes as exact functions of the couplings, which involve both perturbative and non-perturbative instanton effects. The four-point correlators are computed using supersymmetric localization, and the higher-point correlators are recursively related to the lower-point ones by SL(2, Z)-covariant recursion relations that are analogous to the soft-dilaton theorems in string amplitudes.
