Holographic four-point functions in the (2,0) theory

We revisit the calculation of holographic correlators for eleven-dimensional supergravity on AdS(7) x S-4. Our methods rely entirely on symmetry and eschew detailed knowledge of the supergravity effective action. By an extension of the position space approach developed in [1, 2] for the AdS(5) x S-5 background, we compute four-point correlators of one-half BPS operators for identical weights k = 2, 3, 4. The k = 2 case corresponds to the four-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet, which was already known, while the other two cases are new. We also translate the problem in Mellin space, where the solution of the superconformal Ward identity takes a surprisingly simple form. We formulate an algebraic problem, whose (conjecturally unique) solution corresponds to the general one-half BPS four-point function.
