摘要
We give a detailed Operator Product Expansion interpretation of the results for conformal 4-point functions computed from supergravity through the AdS/CFT duality, We show that for an arbitrary scalar exchange in AdS(d+1) all the power-singular terms in the direct channel limit exactly match the corresponding contributions to the OPE of the operator dual to the exchanged bulk field and of its conformal descendents. The leading logarithmic singularities in the 4-point functions of protected N = 4 super-Yang-Mills operators (computed from IIB supergravity on AdS(5) x S-5) are interpreted as O(1/N-2) renormalization effects of the double-trace products appearing in the OPE, Applied to the 4-point functions of the operators O-phi similar to (trF(2) + ...) and O-C similar to (trF (F) over tilde ...), this analysis leads to the prediction that the double-trace composites [OphiOC] and [OphiOphi - OCOC] have anomalous dimension -16/N-2 in the large N, large g(YM)(2)N limit. We describe a geometric picture of the OPE in the dual gravitational theory, for both the power-singular terms and the leading logarithms. We comment on several possible extensions of our results.
