Description

We study correlation functions half-BPS operators in N=4 super Yang-Mills at strong coupling,
dual to tree-level supergravity on AdS5xS5. We use techniques from the CFT toolkit: an inversion formula which expresses OPE data at this order as integrals over a finite sum of protected conformal blocks. The results for different spherical harmonics confirm recent conjectures, and reveal a striking simplicity: we show that the correlators fit together into a single ten-dimensional object, which enjoys a ``hidden’’ conformal invariance.
