Abstract
We consider the one-dimensional (1D) conformal field theory defined by the half-BPS Wilson line in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills. Using analytic bootstrap methods we derive the four-point function of the superdisplacement operator at fourth order in a strong coupling expansion. Via AdS/CFT, this corresponds to the first three-loop correlator in anti-de Sitter ever computed. To do so we address the operator mixing problem by considering a family of auxiliary correlators. We further extract the anomalous dimension of the lightest nonprotected operator and find agreement with the integrability-based numerical result of Grabner, Gromov, and Julius.
