We calculate planar, tree-level, non-extremal three-point functions of operators belonging to the SU (2) × SU (2) sector of ABJM theory. First, we generalize the determinant representation, found by Foda for the three-point functions of the SU (2) sector of N = 4 SYM, to the present case and find that, up to normalization factors, the ABJM result factorizes into a product of two N = 4 SYM correlation functions. Secondly, we treat the case where two operators are heavy and one is light and BPS, using a coherent state description of the heavy ones. We show that when normalized by the three-point function of three BPS operators the heavy-heavy-light correlation function agrees, in the Frolov-Tseytlin limit, with its string theory counterpart which we calculate holographically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
