Anomalous Dimensions of Non-Chiral Operators from AdS/CFT

Understand

Non-chiral operators with positive anomalous dimensions can have interesting applications to supersymmetric model building.

• Motivated by this, we develop a new method for obtaining the anomalous dimensions of non-chiral double-trace operators in N=1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with weakly-coupled AdS duals.
• Via the Hamiltonian formulation of AdS/CFT, we show how to directly compute the anomalous dimension as a bound state energy in the gravity dual.
• This simplifies previous approaches based on the four-point function and the OPE.
