Description

Integrated correlators in N=4 SYM represent a powerful tool to obtain exact results in the coupling constant, and can be used as constraints for dual string scattering amplitudes in AdS. In this talk we study special classes of integrated correlators, dual to scattering processes in presence of extended branes in the bulk. First, we consider 4pt correlators with determinant operators, which in the planar limit are heavy operators realizing a giant graviton D3-brane in the dual space. Secondly, we discuss correlators with line defects such as Wilson/'t Hooft loops, dual to extended (p,q)-strings in the bulk under SL(2,Z) transformations. We compute their integrated correlator via supersymmetric localization exactly in the 't Hooft coupling, interpreting such results as worldsheet integrated amplitudes in presence of boundaries.
