Abstract

We study certain infinite families of two-particle operators exchanged in 4pt correlators ⟨Op1Op2Op3Op4⟩ of tensor multiplets living on the AdS3×S3 background. This is the weakly curved, weakly coupled SUGRA theory dual to the D1-D5 system with RR flux. At tree level in Mellin space, all these correlators are nicely determined by a single amplitude, which makes manifest the large p limit, the connection with the flat space S-matrix, and a six dimensional conformal symmetry. We compute the (1,1)ׯ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(1,1) superconformal blocks for the two-dimensional N=(4,4) conformal theory at the boundary, and then we obtain a formula for the anomalous dimensions of the two-particle operators exchanged in the symmetric and antisymmetric flavor channels. These anomalous dimensions solve a mixing problem which is analogous to the one in AdS5×S5 with interesting modifications. Along the way we show how the (1,1)ׯ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(1,1) superconformal blocks relate to those in N=4 SYM in four dimensions, and provide new intuition on the known data for AdS5×S5.
