Unitarity and positivity constraints for CFT at large central charge

Abstract We consider the four-point correlator of the stress tensor multiplet in N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM in the limit of large central charge c ∼ N 2. For finite values of g 2 N single-trace intermediate operators arise at order 1/c and this leads to specific poles in the Mellin representation...
