Abstract

We present a powerful new approach to compute tree-level higher-point holographic correlators. Our method only exploits the flat-space limit, where we point out a novel and important simplification, and factorization of amplitudes in AdS. In particular, it makes minimal use of supersymmetry, crucial in all previous bootstrap methods. We demonstrate our method by computing the six-point super gluon amplitude of super Yang-Mills in AdS$_5$.
