Holographic correlators with BPS bound states in SYM
Francesco Aprile, Stefano Giusto, Rodolfo Russo
We compute 4-point correlators in Super-Yang-Mills with both single and double-particle -BPS operators in the regime of large 't Hooft coupling and l…
Correlation Functions of Huge Operators in AdS/CFT: Domes, Doors and Book Pages
Jacob Abajian, Francesco Aprile, Robert C. Myers +1
We describe solutions of asymptotically AdS Einstein gravity that are sourced by the insertion of operators in the boundary CFT, whose dimension scales with the central cha…
Holography and Correlation Functions of Huge Operators: Spacetime Bananas
Jacob Abajian, Francesco Aprile, Robert C. Myers +1
We initiate the study of holographic correlators for operators whose dimension scales with the central charge of the CFT. Differently from light correlators or probes, the insertio…
One-loop string amplitudes in AdSS: Mellin space and sphere splitting
F. Aprile, J. M. Drummond, R. Glew +1
We study string corrections to one-loop amplitudes of single-particle operators in . The tree-level correlators in supergravity enjoy an accidental 1…
Superconformal blocks in diverse dimensions and symmetric functions
Francesco Aprile, Paul Heslop
We uncover a precise relation between superblocks for correlators of superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in various dimensions and symmetric functions related to the root sy…
Two-particle spectrum of tensor multiplets coupled to gravity
Francesco Aprile, Michele Santagata
We study the spectrum of certain two-particle operators in the supergravity regime of the D1-D5 system, focussing on the four-point correlators of tensor multiplets on $AdS_3\times…

Large explorations. From SUGRA to big STRINGS in Mellin space
Francesco Aprile, Pedro Vieira
We explore a new way of probing scattering of closed strings in , which we call `the large limit'. It consists of studying four-point correlators of single-par…
One-loop amplitudes in supergravity from SYM at strong coupling
Francesco Aprile, James Drummond, Paul Heslop +1
We explore the structure of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills correlators in the supergravity regime. We develop an algorithm to construct one-loop supergravity amplitudes of fou…
Flipping the head of T[SU(N)]: mirror symmetry, spectral duality and monopoles
Francesco Aprile, Sara Pasquetti, Yegor Zenkevich
We consider T[SU(N)] and its mirror, and we argue that there are two more dual frames, which are obtained by adding flipping fields for the moment maps on the Higgs and Coulomb bra…
The double-trace spectrum of N=4 SYM at strong coupling
F. Aprile, J. M. Drummond, P. Heslop +1
The spectrum of IIB supergravity on AdS contains a number of bound states described by long double-trace multiplets in super Yang-Mills theory at l…
Unmixing Supergravity
F. Aprile, J. M. Drummond, P. Heslop +1
We examine the double-trace spectrum of super Yang-Mills theory in the supergravity limit. At large double-trace operators exhibit degeneracy. By considering…
Quantum Gravity from Conformal Field Theory
F. Aprile, J. M. Drummond, P. Heslop +1
We bootstrap loop corrections to AdS supergravity amplitudes by enforcing the consistency of the known classical results with the operator product expansion of $\mathcal{N}=4…
Quasi-Normal Modes from Non-Commutative Matrix Dynamics
Francesco Aprile, Francesco Sanfilippo
We explore the connection between the process of relaxation in the BMN matrix model and the physics of black holes in AdS/CFT. Focusing on Dyson-fluid solutions of the matrix model…
supersymmetric field theories on 3-manifolds with A-type boundaries

General half-BPS A-type boundary conditions are formulated for N=2 supersymmetric field theories on compact 3-manifolds with boundary. We observe that under suitable conditions man…
Large-N transitions of the connectivity index
Francesco Aprile, Vasilis Niarchos
The connectivity index, defined as the number of decoupled components of a separable quantum system, can change under deformations of the Hamiltonian or during the dynamical change…
A Simple Holographic Model of a Charged Lattice
Francesco Aprile, Takaaki Ishii
We use holography to compute the conductivity in an inhomogeneous charged scalar background. We work in the probe limit of the four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory coupled to a…
Holographic Superconductors in a Cohesive Phase
Francesco Aprile
We consider a four-dimensional N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to matter fields. The model is obtained by a U(1) gauging of a charged hypermultiplet and therefore it is suitable fo…
