1/2-BPS Correlators as c=1 S-matrix
We argue from two complementary viewpoints of Holography that the 2-point
correlation functions of 1/2-BPS multi-trace operators in the large-N (planar)
limit are nothing but the (Wick-rotated) S-matrix elements of c=1 matrix model.
On the bulk side, we consider an Euclideanized version of the so-called
bubbling geometries and show that the corresponding droplets reach the
conformal boundary. Then the scattering matrix of fluctuations of the droplets
gives directly the two-point correlators through the GKPW prescription. On the
Yang-Mills side, we show that the two-point correlators of holomorphic and
anti-holomorphic operators are essentially equivalent with the transformation
functions between asymptotic in- and out-states of c=1 matrix model. Extension
to non-planar case is also discussed.Comment: 28 pages, 3 figures, corrected typos, version to appear in JHE
