We determine the full 1/sqrt(lambda) correction to the flat-space Wilson coefficients which enter the AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude in N=4 SYM theory at strong coupling. The assumption that the Wilson coefficients are in the ring of single-valued multiple zeta values, as expected for closed string amplitudes, is surprisingly powerful and leads to a unique solution to the dispersive sum rules relating Wilson coefficients and OPE data. The corresponding OPE data fully agrees with and extends the results from integrability.

We consider the four-point correlator of the stress tensor multiplet in N = 4 SYM in the limit of large c=N^2, but finite \lambda=g^2 N. For finite values of \lambda single-trace intermediate operators arise at order 1/c and this leads to specific poles in the Mellin representation of the correlator. The sign of the residue at these poles is fixed by unitarity. We consider solutions consistent with crossing symmetry and this pole structure. We show that in a certain regime all solutions result in a negative contribution to the anomalous dimension of twist four operators. This positivity condition can also be proven by assuming the correct Regge behaviour for the Mellin amplitude. The positivity constraints arising from CFT for the Mellin amplitude take a very similar form to the causality constraint for the forward limit of the S-matrix.

I will discuss the three-point correlator of two protected scalar operators and one higher spin twist-two operator in N = 4 SYM, in the limit of large spin. This structure constant can be extracted from the OPE of the four-point correlator of protected scalar operators. Based on the OPE structure, symmetry arguments and intuition from the available perturbative results, it is possible to predict the structure constant at all loops in perturbation theory. Furthermore, this allows also to propose an expression for the all loops four-point correlator in a particular limit.
