Semiclassical Probes and Extremal Correlators
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Addresses inconsistencies in previous calculations of extremal and non-extremal three-point functions.
- •Clarifies the roles of wavefunctions and moduli averaging in holographic computations.
- •Resolves discrepancies between supergravity and CFT calculations for extremal correlators.
- •Proposes a new ansatz for giant graviton wavefunctions.
- •Focuses on the large N limit of certain extremal two and three point functions in N=4 SYM.
“The paper clarifies the roles of wavefunctions and averaging over moduli, concluding that holographic computations may be performed with or without averaging.”
