Popis: Abstract We study graviton scattering on AdS 4 × S 7, which is dual to the stress tensor multiplet four-point function in the maximally supersymmetric 3d U(N)1 × U(N) −1 ABJM theory. We compute 1-loop corrections to this holographic correlator coming from Witten diagrams with supergravity R and higher derivative R 4 vertices, up to contact term ambiguities, and find that the flat space limit matches the corresponding terms in the 11d M-theory S-matrix. We then use supersymmetric localization to show that all the 1-loop contact terms vanish, as was previously observed for the AdS 4 × S 7 /ℤ2 theory dual to U(N)2 × U(N) −2 ABJM. Finally, we use the recent localization results of Gaiotto and Abajian, as inspired by twisted M-theory, to compute all the short OPE coefficients in correlators of the stress tensor multiplet and the next lowest half-BPS operator, which we find saturate the bootstrap bounds on these mixed correlators for all N.
