abstract:

The application of the AdS/CFT correspondence in the calculation of four point functions for chiral primary operators in the large N limit for maximal superconformal gauge theories is reviewed. It is shown how the results satisfy certain constraints, motivated by our understanding from string theory of the spectrum of operators in the large N limit, which allow a construction of the four point function for any half BPS chiral primary operator at large N.
