Description

We analyse the OPE of any two 1/2 BPS operators of (2,0) SCFT6 by constructing all possible three- point functions that they can form with another, in general long operator. Such three-point functions are uniquely determined by superconformal symmetry. Selection rules are derived, which allow us to infer 'non-renormalization theorems' for an abstract superconformal field theory. The latter is supposedly related to the strong-coupling dynamics of Nc coincident M5 branes, dual, in the large-Nc limit, to the bulk M-theory compactified on AdS7xS4. An interpretation of extremal and next-to-extremal correlators in terms of exchange of operators with protected conformal dimension is given. (author)
