Abstract

We analyze short and long multiplets which appear in the OPE expansion of ‘chiral’ primary operators in N=4 Super Yang–Mills theory. Among them, higher spin long and new short multiplets appear having the interpretation in the AdS/CFT correspondence of string states and supergravity multiparticle states, respectively. We also analyze the decomposition of long multiplets under N=1 supersymmetry as a possible tool exploring other supersymmetric deformations of IIB string on AdS5×S5.
