Description
In this talk I will discuss a synthesis of ideas involving localization, modularity and resurgence that allows to one to make precision tests of holography. Localization allows us to compute the exact value of certain integrated 4-point functions of half-BPS operators; the form of these correlators is highly constrained by S-duality and they are modular functions. Then applying ideas from resurgence and solving the model in the large-N limit we find that both the perturbative and non-perturbative terms can be identified within a non-trivial deformation of $\mathrm{AdS}_5 \times S^5$, the so called AdS bubble - argued to be dual to a certain coherent state built from the 20' superconformal primary!
