Gluon Scattering in AdS from CFT

Understand

We present a systematic study of holographic correlators in a vast array of SCFTs with non-maximal superconformal symmetry.

• These theories include 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs from D3-branes near F-theory singularities, 5d Seiberg exceptional theories and 6d E-string theory, as well as 3d and 4d phenomenological models with probe flavor branes.
• We consider current multiplets and their generalizations with higher weights, dual to massless and massive super gluons in the bulk.
• At leading order in the inverse central charge expansion, connected four-point functions of these operators correspond to tree-level gluon scattering amplitudes in AdS.
