Summary: We explore the color-kinematic duality for tree-level AdS/CFT correlators in momentum space, finding that it does not provide additional relations among n-point, color-ordered correlators for the integrated correlator, but naturally relates the bi-adjoint theory and Yang-Mills theory in AdS(d+1) for the AdS integrand.

Summary: A set of structures appearing in the four-point function of protected operators in N = 4 super Yang-Mills with SU(N) gauge group was computed at any order in a large N expansion, determined solely by leading order CFT data. By focusing on a specific limit, a connection was made with the dual supergravity amplitude in flat space, where these structures correspond to iterated s-cuts. Several checks were performed and it was conjectured that the same interpretation holds for supergravity amplitudes on AdS(5) x S-5.

Summary: A compact formula in Mellin space for the four-point tree-level holographic correlators of chiral primary operators with arbitrary conformal weights in (2, 0) supergravity on AdS(3)x S-3 is presented. This formula is obtained by solving the recursion relation from a hidden six-dimensional conformal symmetry, after carefully analyzing the analytic structures of the correlators. Various limits of the correlators are studied, including the maximally R-symmetry violating limit and flat-space limit.

Summary: Three-point correlators of spinning operators in three dimensions have multiple tensor structures compatible with conformal symmetry. Helicity commutes with conformal transformations for conserved currents, allowing for the construction of three-point structures that diagonalize helicity. Using the Lorentzian inversion formula, anomalous dimensions for conserved currents at bulk tree-level order are obtained and compared with flat-space gluon scattering amplitudes.

Summary: This study systematically investigates holographic correlators in a variety of SCFTs with non-maximal superconformal symmetry. By considering current multiplets and their generalizations with higher weights, the correspondence between massless and massive super gluons in the bulk is explored. At leading order, tree-level gluon scattering amplitudes in AdS are found to be fixed by symmetries and consistency conditions in all the theories studied, revealing interesting emergent structures such as dimensional reductions, hidden conformal symmetry, and an AdS version of the color-kinematic duality.

Summary: This study focuses on non-planar correlators in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills in Mellin space, particularly examining the stress tensor four-point correlator in terms of 1/N-4 order and strong coupling expansion. The results show that both the loop supergravity result and stringy corrections have a remarkably simple structure in Mellin space, demonstrating important properties such as the correct flat space limit and the structure of UV divergences.

Summary: In this article, we introduce a new information theoretical quantity called balanced partial entanglement (BPE) for any bipartite mixed state. We discuss its relation with purifications and find that in holographic CFT2, BPE equals the area of the entanglement wedge cross section divided by 4G.

Summary: In this study, 2-point correlation functions for scalar operators in position space are examined using holography, with a focus on operators with large conformal dimensions. The geodesic approximation is utilized for propagators. In addition to the main contribution, a correction involving bulk cubic couplings and higher curvature couplings is identified, which provides insight into the interior of a black hole.

Summary: In this study, the partial entanglement entropy is explicitly interpreted as component flow flux in a locking bit thread configuration within the holographic framework. By applying the locking theorem of bit threads, a set of uniquely determined component flow fluxes is obtained, and the PEE proposal and its generalized version in multipartite cases are successfully derived. Furthermore, a coherent explanation is presented for the coincidence between the BPE/EWCS duality and the EoP/EWCS duality, based on the perspective of bit threads.

Summary: In this paper, we generalize the flat space limit of AdS by considering the previously ignored null direction, thereby reproducing Carrollian CFT correlation functions from AdS Witten diagrams. Specifically, we reproduce two and three-point correlation functions for three dimensional Carrollian CFTs in the delta-function branch by considering Witten diagrams in AdS(4). Along the way, we construct non-trivial Carrollian three-point functions in the delta-branch by considering a collinear limit and obtain a generalized anti-podal matching condition dependent on the retarded time direction.

Summary: By employing the extended island formula, we computed the entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation for black hole solutions of certain gravitational models containing higher derivative terms. Our results showed that despite the non-unitarity of the corresponding gravitational models, the entropy followed the Page curve, thanks to the contribution of the island.

Summary: In this study, a numerical bootstrap analysis of the mixed correlator system in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory reveals new bounds on operator dimensions and OPE coefficients. The tension between large N supergravity predictions and numerical finite N results is found to exist around N similar to 100, prompting discussions on potential solutions. Additionally, evidence of a two dimensional conformal manifold in the OPE coefficient of the lightest scalar singlet is observed.

Summary: In this paper, recent advancements in the study of conformal field theories in generic space-time dimensions using the methods of the conformal bootstrap, particularly focusing on its analytic aspect, are reviewed. Two applications of the analytic conformal bootstrap are examined: the epsilon expansion of the Wilson-Fisher model through the introduction of a dispersion relation, and the large N expansion of the maximally supersymmetric Super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions.

Summary: We conducted a systematic study on quarter-BPS operators in four-dimensional N = 4 Super Yang-Mills using newly developed tools in conformal field theory. By adapting the technology of embedding space tensor structures and utilizing the underlying chiral algebra, we were able to determine the protected part of the four-point correlators. This study has applications in exploring the leading order OPE data in the large N supergravity limit and making connections with the OPE limit of the five-point function of half-BPS operators.

Summary: This paper investigates the calculation of physical quantities in certain quantum field theories, specifically the Argyres-Douglas type. Two alternative approaches, localization and conformal bootstrap, are used to tackle this problem. The results show good agreement between the two methods in rank-one cases and the rank-two Argyres-Douglas theories, and the localization results provide bounds on the dimensions of the lightest neutral unprotected operators in CFTs.

Summary: In this article, we study a class of two-point functions in a conformal field theory near a wedge. The set-up involves two boundaries intersecting at an angle theta, and we compute it as a solution to the Dyson-Schwinger equation of motion for a quartic interaction. We extract the anomalous dimensions from these correlators and complement the results with Feynman diagrams computations.

Summary: We study the four-point functions of spinning operators in the flavor current multiplet in four-dimensional N = 2 SCFTs using superspace techniques. We explicitly construct the differential operators that relate the different components of the super-correlator. As a result, we also compute the four-point amplitudes of gluons in bosonic Yang-Mills theories on AdS(5) and provide evidence for an AdS double copy relation between the gluon amplitude and its gravitational counterpart.

Summary: This paper studies a crossing symmetric dispersion relation (CSDR) for CFT four point correlation with identical scalar operators, which is manifestly symmetric under the cross-ratios u, v interchange. It has several features in common with the CSDR for quantum field theories. The results provide insights into the expansion of correlation functions and the positivity of Taylor expansion coefficients, as well as universal predictions for specific ratios of these coefficients.

Summary: We investigated the four-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet in four-dimensional N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling and in a large-N expansion. By constructing the maximal transcendental weight piece of the correlator at order N-6, we were able to compare it with the flat-space limit of the corresponding two-loop amplitude, allowing us to conjecture structures of the correlator/amplitude that should be present at any loop order.
