Description

The AdS/CFT duality provides a correspondence between correlation functions at weak coupling on the gravity side and at strong coupling for its field theory counterpart. However correlation functions are notably hard to compute in this regime, and I report on how modern analytical bootstrap methods can be used in order to derive defect two-point functions up to next-to-leading order, by using minimal input from supergravity. I will specifically show how to obtain the correlator of two chiral primary operators in the presence of a Wilson-line defect in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM.
