One-loop amplitudes in $AdS_5\times S^5$ supergravity from $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at strong coupling

We explore the structure of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills correlators in the supergravity regime. We develop an algorithm to construct one-loop supergravity amplitudes of four arbitrary Kaluza-Klein supergravity states, properly dualised into single-particle operators. We illustrate this algorithm by constructing new explicit results for multi-channel correlation functions, and we show that correlators which are degenerate at tree level become distinguishable at one-loop. The algorithm contains a number of subtle features which have not appeared until now. In particular, we address the presence of non-trivial low twist protected operators in the OPE that are crucial for obtaining the correct one-loop results. Finally, we outline how the differential operators $\widehat{\mathcal{D}}_{pqrs}$ and $Δ^{(8)}$, which play a role in the context of the hidden 10d conformal symmetry at tree level, can be used to reorganise our one-loop correlators.
